[Verse 1] Sirens smear across the windows Red on white tile Somebody’s pounding on the stairwell door Then the glass goes vile Teeth on metal Boots on bone I see a neighbor I used to know Chewing through his phone [Chorus] I don’t care who’s right I just wanna get out alive You can call it cowardice, call it crime I just wanna get out alive Take your orders, take your flags, take sides I just wanna get out alive If there’s a sin in trying to survive I’ll confess it when I get out alive [Verse 2] Soldiers stack up in the hallway Eyes like empty shells One kid’s shaking as he flips his safety Whispering he can’t tell Who’s the monster In this mess Is it the ones that bite Or the ones that bled [Chorus] I don’t care who’s right I just wanna get out alive You can call it cowardice, call it crime I just wanna get out alive Take your orders, take your flags, take sides I just wanna get out alive If there’s a sin in trying to survive I’ll confess it when I get out alive [Bridge] They say, “Hold the line” They say, “Purge the street” (hey!) But the line is made of people And they’re dying at my feet Blood on the armband Blood on the floor Blood on the bored kid Guarding the door [Chorus] I don’t care who’s right I just wanna get out alive You can call it cowardice, call it crime I just wanna get out alive Take your orders, take your flags, take sides I just wanna get out alive If there’s a sin in trying to survive I’ll confess it when I get out alive (get out alive)
