Get Me out of This Town
Escape the Chains: Andy Prieboy's Cry for Freedom in 'Get Me out of This Town'
Lyrics
GET ME OUT OF THIS TOWN
Expressing a strong desire to leave the current town or situation.
My mind is in the gutter
Feeling mentally troubled or disturbed.
And my back is on the rack.
Experiencing pressure or difficulty, both mentally and physically.
I’m all a flutter in a panic attack.
Feeling anxious and agitated, possibly having a panic attack.
I’m praying to the Lord with my head hung down
Seeking divine intervention to escape the current distress.
God get me out of this Goddamn town.
Strongly expressing a negative view of the town and a desire to leave.
What a shit-hole, no doubt there
Describing the town as a terrible place.
Look upon these works, you mighty, and despair.
Referencing a sense of despair and hopelessness in the town.
I’m getting my ass kicked up and down
Expressing being physically and emotionally beaten down.
God get me out of this Godamned town
Reiterating the plea to be rescued from the town.
God ,get me out
Continuing the desperate appeal to a higher power for deliverance.
God get me out
-God get me out of this Goddamned town.
-You can tell Osama he can burn it all down.
Expressing a willingness to let go of the town, even if it means destruction.
God get me out of this Goddamned town.
Repetition of the plea to be saved from the town's negative aspects.
There's only two kinds of people: either poor or rich.
-And each one is equally a son of a bitch.
-White, Black, Yellow Man, Red Man, Brown
-Only want you when you’re winning
-And they’ll hunt you when you down
-In a hell-hole, I declare!
-Heads up their asses and their noses in the air
-But they all got a hair-do and wear it like a crown.
-God get me out of this Goddamn town
-God ,get me out
-God get me out
-God get me out of this Goddamned town.
-You can send a thunderbolt and burn it all down.
Reiterating the desire for divine intervention and potential destruction.
God get me out of this Goddamn town.
Emphasizing the urgency of leaving the town.
God get out of this Godamned town.
-Well, I loved me a stripper.
Introducing a personal story of romantic disappointment and heartbreak.
She was pretty and mean.
-A BonTon mesomorphic titty-bar queen.
-She left me for an idiot who’d hold her gown
-God! Get me out of this Goddamn town
-God get me out.
Linking the romantic experience to the overall desire to escape the town.
Get me out of this
-God hear me out
-Get me out of this...
-I’m praying,Lord
Continuing the prayerful plea for liberation.
With my head hung down
-Get me out of this Goddamn town
Reiterating the strong desire to leave the town, emphasizing frustration.
