lyrics

Its not safe to go outside these days
Because our skin just isn't thick enough
And the world just isn't big enough
It's not safe to speak your mind these days
But the words still come too easily
To everyone that won't agree with
All of us

Maybe its subliminal
Or just a word to the wise
but everyones a criminal
Unitil proven otherwise
So bar up all your windows
And never answer the phone
if you don't talk to anyone
You'll be safe in your own home but

Its not safe to go outside these days
Because our skin just isn't thick enough
And the world just isn't big enough
It's not safe to speak your mind these days
But the words still come too easily
To everyone that won't agree with
All of us

So take down all my details
Leave the back up on a train
If somebody takes it
I guess I'll have to change my name
Move into the country
Forget everyone I know
And hope that they forget me
Because I'm not safe in my own home

Its not safe to go outside these days
Because our skin just isn't thick enough
And the world just isn't big enough
It's not safe to speak your mind these days
But the words still come too easily
To everyone that won't agree with
All of us

Empty streets and deadlocked doors
Are all that we have
To remind us of what we have come to forget
Foster the fear to sell out the news stands
If you survive you could die by your own hands
Empty eyes and deadened faces
In these crowds and open spaces

I think I might go outside today
And see if the world really seems
As bad as we're led to believe
I think I might find something to say
Someone might share my point of view
And Say I feel the same as you but
Its not safe to go outside these days
Because our skin just isn't thick enough
And the world just isn't big enough
It's not safe to speak your mind these days
But the words still come too easily
To everyone that won't agree with
All of us

about

deadhorsetooth Hertfordshire, UK

Deadhorsetooth formed in 2004 when they got tired of folk. Guitarist Moggy moved to take centre stage after too long on the sidelines had melted his bloated ego, while once-trumpeter greg found himself drawn back to those rumbling bass frequencies. Drummer Mikey has never strayed from his skin-bashing tendencies, and his funk band background has brought the grooves that the tooth were after. ... more
