I've Got to Stay Songtext
von Over My Dead Name

If the history repeats
The panic in the streets
Then no one can be born in the wrong generation
The tune hasn′t changed
The songs, they only age
They tell me to behave
That I face no tribulation

I wanna' take you away
I wanna′ take you away


But I've got to stay
For a brighter tomorrow
For the ones without a choice
With no way to end their sorrows
I've got to stay
We′ll run away another day

If the history repeats
The lies and deceit
You shouldn′t be surprised by the sadness and frustration
You're scared of needed change
Opt for things to stay the same
Chalk it up to nothing more than a loose association

I wanna′ take you away


But I've got to stay
For a brighter tomorrow
For the ones without a choice
With no way to end their sorrows
(I can′t feel your love tonight)
I've got to stay
(Through the heat of the gaslight)
We′ll run away another day
