Don Johnson Big Band Dangerous Lyrics

It's all becoming clear, these are not the best of times
People walk around in circles and rub their glassy eyes
I close mine and slowly raise the periscope
To see if I could see beyond a sea of heavy smoke
Very slow to recover when I wake up from a dream
A dog is barking on the porch, the moon is turning green
I scramble and feel a pair of hands around my throat
They're telling me the yelling won't help
Don't rock the boat
Who's this? What's this?
Where's this all coming from?
Civil clothes policemen, electricians on the run
The Rule of Law 2005 is watch your head
You just became an anti-terror target
Now you're dead, Go ahead
Point a gun at my temple while you're at it
This planet is inhabitable, and I have had it
One final thought before I fire up my shuttle
Earth is not a battle field, I'm tired of the struggle

It's dangerous Watch your step, watch your neck
What you'll get is freedom or a bullet in the head
It's dangerous There is no imminent threat
But in this day and age we won't forgive and forget

I've lived a life of comfort, it bothers me at times
Too much health and happiness
Like someone shut the blinds
When somewhere far beyond my gaze
The world is full of pain
We're feeding bread to birds
When people fight for just a grain
So how could I explain this genuine desire
To reach out to a stranger, stick my hand into the fire
When its heat is something I have never felt or understood
Am I lighting up a match while pouring gasoline on wood?
Or maybe all I am is just a raindrop in the ocean
Polluted like the atmosphere that gave it birth and motion
Poisoning the planet with contaminated breath
And trying to proceed, forget that progress is a myth
How hard is it to step outside the barriers of fear
Climb aboard a cargo ship and slowly disappear
I leave the port behind me every night I fall asleep
But somehow, come the morning, still wake up on my street

CHORUS

(Words and music: Don Johnson Big Band)
