• expiration date

  nine years away from home
  a big world that I've got to roam
  got a lot of miles that I have to go
  but I'm down on luck and short of dough
  can't go back but I can keep straight
  keep goin' forward to my expiration date

  a world full of borders
  guard towers and fences
  seven billion line their own defenses
  no one knows who gives the orders
  they can't look back or shoot real straight
  keep lookin' forward to their expiration date

  brothers, sisters, human disgrace
  I got lost in this place
  and I know I have to move on
  say goodbye and then I'm gone
  I can't come back so please don't wait
  keep movin' forward to my expiration date
