GETTING OUT IS GOOD

A song from February, 2024

I’m not saying this is a good song. I’m not saying it’s recorded well. I’m definitely not saying it’s uplifting. But I wrote it in early 2024, and it keeps turning up in my mind recently. Maybe if you’re feeling similarly, you’ll find some solidarity here.

Get out while the getting out is good

Get out while the getting out is good

Before the death squad comes rolling

through your neighborhood

get out while the getting out is good

Get out while the getting out is good

Get out while the getting out is good

Before the men with guns in a pick up truck

with antlers on the hood show up

get out while the getting out is good

Get out while the getting out is good

Get out while the getting out is good

There are a million reasons you can’t go

but don’t you think you should

get out while the getting out is good

Get out while the getting out is good

Get out while the getting out is good

Before a silent man can put you in

a sack cloth hood

Get out while the getting out

Get out while the getting out

You gotta get out while the getting out is good
