Song Description

Ever feel that people around you in the workplace are not on your side? Do you ever feel like running away, rather than face deception and mistrust? "Think I'd rather retire, than get hit by friendly fire!"

Lyrics

Everybody's doing their own thing
going in their own direction
and doing what they know is right.
Ambition's driving everyone.
We know too much to follow
but not enough to lead the fight.

So I ask the question,
How can we win with so much strife?
Searching for the answer,
I want to get on with my life, so I

Think I'd rather retire than get hit by friendly fire.
I say, I think I'd rather retire than get hit by friendly fire.

Instead of nurturing an openness
we're sheltered in a darkness
where you see no enemy line.
Hidden gossip makes a friendly gun
and we're shooting at each other
instead of working to align.

So I ask the question
Work it all out or just move on?
Running from the answer,
I feel that I've already gone 'cause I

Think I'd rather retire than get hit by friendly fire.
I say, I think I'd rather retire than get hit by friendly fire. (repeat)

Sometimes my mind takes me to far away places
to a simpler place, to a simpler time.

The boys at the top are telling us
to work and just continue
until directed otherwise.
They're the leaders, big picture painters.
I'm waiting for a work of art,
instead we just reorganize.

Chorus (repeat)
