Off the Grid

I will uncover That which you did Mute yourself And go off the grid Here’s where you keep Your memento hid To boost its value Get off the grid So you think You can beat your taxes Hunt the landscape Sharpen your axes The true survivor Never relaxes Nobody ever much did You backpedalled Slipped and slid Turned tail and ran Clear off the grid To your sense of reason I make a bid Cut your losses Go off the grid Ain’t nuthin’ finer Than that fatal skid The truck is comin’ Move off the grid So you thought You could leave the picture Conquer flaws Consider the future Then nighttime came You dreamed of vultures Screamin’ like a little kid Melt down the ego Raise up the id It’s all rough lumber Off the grid For every pot, There’s a lonesome lid Live out your romance Off the grid
