Living Colour - Go Away Lyrics

Artist: Living Colour

Album: Stain

  • Songwriters: Calhoun William, Glover Corey, Reid Vernon Alphonsus, Wimbish Douglas Arthur

What is the point of suffering?
What is the purpose of joy?
Is it true that the winner dies
With the most toys?

A lifetime spent for a dollar
A lifetime twisting in pain
A lifetime gone in an hour
A lifetime playing the game

I see the starving Africans on TV
I feel it has nothing to do with me
I sent my twenty dollars to Live-Aid
I've aided my guilty conscience to go away

Now go away
Now go away
Now go away
Go away

I don't want anybody to touch me
I think everybody has AIDS
What's the point in caring for you?
You're gonna die anyway

A lifetime searching for something
A lifetime going insane
A lifetime running from nothing
A life looking for someone to blame

I see the starving Africans on TV
I feel it has nothing to do with me
I sent my twenty dollars to Live-Aid
I've aided my guilty conscience to go away

Now go away
Now go away
Now go away
Go away

I see the starving Africans on TV
I feel it has nothing to do with me
I sent my twenty dollars to Live-Aid
And paid my guilty conscience to go away

I see the starving Africans on TV
I feel it has nothing to do with me
I sent my twenty dollars to Live-Aid
And paid my guilty conscience, now go away

Now go away
Now go away
Now go away
Go away, go away
