Song: Turn Your BackArtist: Billy Talent
Album: Billy Talent III
The song Turn Your Back is from Billy Talent's third studio album (fourth if you count their first album, which was released under a different band name.) One version of the song features guest vocals by members of Anti-Flag (an American punk band, from Pennsylvania.) I think the song is about people ignoring the state of our world. How some selfish people will only be sorry when the bad stuff starts to affect them. I think it's about the human race needing to take responsibility for it's actions. I love the lyrics and the songs sound.
"Turn Your Back"
And when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be?
Cleaning up the mess we've made or watching your TV?
And if you have to ask, then you don't have a clue,
There's snow in Arizona while they're bombing in Beirut!
I hope some day...when i'm dead and gone,
We learn to right...everything that's wrong,
With loving hands...turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell...if life goes on, on, on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore,
You run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight,
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
It just don't make no sense, there's a million mouths to feed,
We got military action over monetary need
And you can turn your back, or you can plant the seed
You can choose compassion over universal greed
I hope some day... when i'm dead and gone,
We learn to right... everything that's wrong,
With loving hands... turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell... if life goes on, on, on, on, on
When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore,
You run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight,
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
And you can turn your back, but it won't go away
And you don't look scared, but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth, but you still have a say
And you just don't care, for tomorrow, today
And you can turn your back, but it won't go away
And you don't look scared, but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth, but you still have a say
And you just don't care, for tomorrow, today
Well no way! way! No way, no way, no way, no way!
When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore,
You run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight,
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!
