​Verse
There's a man with an angry face stood here before me
He says I'm a waste upon this place, I'm a plague upon the world
'Cause I took my time when I had to decide if I wanted left or right
It's a bitter ride when sitting either side of where you'd like
​
He says "Mate, have you seen the state of our country?"
He said "Mate, ya seen the state of our once great nation,? It's only getting worse"
I said "Sorry if I seem a little blunt with all my reasonin'
If I'm honest it'd be better if you just listen to what I say"
​
Chorus
So just walk away
You're gonna have a better day if you try it
Just walk away
It's gonna get better if you're not fighting
Everything might seem to be a signal for more hate
Living in a seething rage won't help your mental state
Just heed my words and walk away
​
Verse
Take a long hard look at who's stood here before you
Do you really think the grass is clearly greener on the other side?
Will the reds or the blues or the greens or greys really make much of a change?
Whichever side you choose, win or lose, it'll be a bumpy ride
​
I said "Mate, why don't you show a little compassion?
There's people out there living hand-t0=mouth sinking deeper in a deep dark place
No food to eat, no place to live and desperate
Take a large step back, and have a think about all those things you say"
​
Chorus
Then just walk away
You're gonna have a better day if you try it
Just walk away
It's gonna get better if you're not fighting
Everything might seem to be a signal for more hate
Living in a seething rage won't help your mental state
Just heed my words and walk away
​
Verse
When everybody thinks they'll make a difference
When everybody thinks that they are right, you're so intransigent
It's impossible to change the mind of one-way thinkers
Just walk away, it's a lovely day, and it's really not worth the fight
​
So 'mate' I don't wanna hear your one-way thinking
So 'mate' I'm gonna choose my own free will whether you think it's wrong or right
So 'mate' take all your bigoted views and stuff them
I'll choose my own path, ignore your wrath, and I'll sleep well at night
​
Chorus
Just walk away
You're gonna have a better day if you try it
Just walk away
It's gonna get better if you're not fighting
Everything might seem to be a signal for more hate
Living in a seething rage won't help your mental state
Just heed my words and walk away
Just walk away​
Just walk away
Just walk away
Just walk away
