Story Behind The Song
Imagined situation based on what typically happens in reality
Song Description
A friend who was driven to murder is contemplating jumping off the roof. I beckon him not to and pledge to help him get away and not to worry - the murder was just a little oversight and this is the USA so we can pay someone to fix it right!
Don't trust the justice system
- justice you won't get so get away and enoy the freedom

Lyrics
OVERSIGHT
Up there the air is cooler
But there are rocks on your shoulder
You gotta be a little bolder
It's no way to fly
You're acting so aloof
So come down now, get off that roof
The case won't stick, I've got the proof
It's not your time to die
Chorus: Don't worry just hold on tight
It's nothing more than an oversight
I'll have it gone before the end of night
It's just a little oversight
I'llpay some guy some money
To fix it right
Up there on the ledge
You're too near the edge
You'll be outta here, that's a pledge
I'll get you off somehow
The situation's bad
They eally drove you mad
So murder ain't
that bad
You're a new person now
Chorus
Middle:
Catch a plane; goin'to anywhere
Runnin' wild; hang in there
feel the freedom rip your hair
They'll sell you down the river
It ain't justice what they deliver
Though you're a taker not a giver
You ain't got the bite
Gotta get you outta here that's a must
I won't see you for dust
Don't forget that in money we trust
Ha! Ain't that right?
Chorus
Middle
