It Can't Happen To Me

(album: No Turn Unstoned - 2012)

Saw the lighthouse burning down
Seen the sheriff when he shot you down
Seen the movie and I know the end
I feel the pressure but I won't bend

Oh yeh
No no no, no no no
It can't happen to me
This can never be, never never be
This can't happen to me

You spend a lifetime talking back
You wind up living by the railroad track
You fight for justice and equality
Just like some Statue of Liberty

Oh yeh
No no no, no no no
It can't happen to me
This can never be, never never be
This can't happen to me

Young enough to make the change and old enough to know
Strong enough to rearrange when time decrees it so

Hemmed in by jokers and foolish clowns
Don't let them trick you, try to steal your crown
Too many people with broken dreams
Life isn't always just what it seems
