Taking Alcatraz Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd FRET
INTRO: D Dsus4 D Bm A G G D Dsus4 D
VERSE:
So Richard Oaks gave me a call
From San Francisco late in the fall
He said it's going down
He said we're gonna take the island
As a monument to the smallpox blankets
And the bureaucrats
All you got to do is come along
You catch a bus tomorrow
And if we die there
Well at least we'll make a choice
If we're fine there
We can tell the boys
CHORUS:
That a line in the sand
Don't matter you don't care
That a bird in the hand is worthless
You're too scared
INSTRUMENTAL: D Bm A G G D Dsus4 D
VERSE:
So clear my name and clear my throat
Find my voice and here we go again
I need a place to stand
I hear sirens down the street from the 3rd shift bar
I'm gonna park my car in the painted off place
Where the bikers park
See what happens then
And if I die here
Well at least I made a choice
If I'm fine here just please tell the boys
CHORUS:
That a line in the sand don't matter
You dont care
That a bird in the hand is worthless
You're too scared
VERSE:
My friends keep calling
I don't pick up
I got nothing to say
That I can't just make up anyway
I've got all this sh*t to do
I've turned you off on the radio
I turn around and it's in a TV show
I turn that off too
I remember when I knew you
And if I'm fine here
Well I made my choice
If I die here
Please just tell the boys
CHORUS:
That a line in the sand don't matter
You don't care
That a bird in the hand is worthless

You're too scared
OUTRO:
That a line in the sand don't matter
You don't care
That a bird in the hand is worthless
You're too scared
