Laying Low
Words and Music by Mike Younger

Come on baby don't hang your head so low
The road is long and you've still got a ways to go
So spin the dial on your dashboard radio
If you can find the words
Come on baby don't turn your face away
the night is young and you've still got a lot to say
We need to hear your voice more than ever today
Won't you make yourself heard?
Cities burning on the hillside, angry seas begin to rise
Gotta fly above the smoke to see through the lies
This aint no time for laying low and letting things slide
Running back home for a place to hide - I need you by my side
It's always somebody else's problem
that's how we got here
disposable nations and civilizations
with garbage piling up to our ears
Come on baby don't walk away just yet
there aint no telling how dark this night could get
We're gonna find out what we don't know
about the point of no return
Fish are floating in the harbor, withered crops waste in the fields
Anyone with any sense would take to their heels
But this aint no time for laying low and letting things slide
Running back home for a place to hide
I need you by my side
