Tropic Hell Escape

[Intro] [Verse 1] Far past the charms, of the tropical palms, In a heat that just, won't fade a waaay. In a hot stuffy bus, All Fourteen of us hope we'll Make it there safely I praaaay. And it's not, (And it's not) a smooth ride, (No!) ...And the engine is hurting my ears. (Ugh!) The aircon is slack, There's some goats at the back, But it's not like the bus driver cares. [Trumpet flourish] [Verse 2] Here we go-oooooo-ooo (Go!) And the man to my left pulls a gun. (Oh no!) And just as i dreaded, Theres an ambush ahead and, it looks like the end time has come. (Ugh!) So I lost my voice, And Well i had no choice, As the muzzle was flush to my head. (No!) So i fight back the tears, As he shouts in my ears, ..I can't catch a word that he said. [ Trumpet flourish ] [Verse 3] So we go-oooooooo-oo Leaving four bodies behind. (Go!) So, We follow their feet, through the sweltering heat, Their hide out was so hard to find. The days they go by, and I'm wondering why, I came to this forsaken place. (Ugh!) There's bugs in my food, And my captors are rude, In the mirror I don't know that face. (Who?) [Chorus] So come rescue me. It's been so long, since I've ever-been free. It's been so long, since I've ever-been free. It's been so long, It's been so long, It's been so long [Verse 4] Its the saaaaaame When the army draws near, we all dive. (Get down!) And that's all very well, but in this tropical hell, The mosquitoes can eat you alive. [ Trumpet flourish ] [Verse 5] The Pompous reporter, Who witnessed the slaughter, he knows it will make headline news. (WooHoo!) So he sells their story, and gets all the glory, An offer they just can't refuse. [Bridge] Ohh, is this my fate or fatal, a mistake? (What have i done?) Is the one who feeds me, my friend? We try every day, To keep out of their way, But its never enough in the end. [Chorus] So come rescue me. It's been so long, since I've ever-been free. It's been so long, since I've ever-been free. It's been so long, It's been so long, It's been so long [Verse 6] Boss said to me "man", As he offered his hand, "Make a warrior out of you yet" (Yeah!) No one knows what I'm owed, But i know I've gone rogue, why and how is just what I forget. it's so straaaaange I feel like my life is on pause. (Halt!) Those men I condemned, I'm now one of them, Now I feel the need for their cause! (Freedom!) [Chorus] So come rescue me. It's been so long, since I've ever-been free. It's been so long, since I've ever-been free. It's been so long, It's been so long, It's been so long [Outro]
