Billy Talent - Turn Your Back Lyrics






And when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be?
Cleaning up the mess we've made or watching your TV?
And if you have to ask, then you don't have a clue,
There's snow in Arizona while they're bombing in Beirut!

I hope some day...when i'm dead and gone,
We learn to right...everything that's wrong,
With loving hands...turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell...if life goes on, on, on, on, on

When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore,
You run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight,
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!

It just don't make no sense, there's a million mouthes to feed,
We got military action over monetary need
And you can turn your back, or you can plant the seed
You can choose compassion over universal greed

I hope some day... when i'm dead and gone,
We learn to right... everything that's wrong,
With loving hands... turn sick to strong,
Our time will tell... if life goes on, on, on, on, on

When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore,
You run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight,
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!

And you can turn your back, but it won't go away
And you don't look scared, but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth, but you still have a say
And you just don't care, for tomorrow, today

And you can turn your back, but it won't go away
And you don't look scared, but you should be afraid
You can shut your mouth, but you still have a say
And you just don't care, for tomorrow, today

Well no way! way! No way, no way, no way, no way!

When the storm hits your front door, with a roar you can't ignore,
You run, run, away! but there's no place to hide, mate!
When the days turn into night, you don't got no chance to fight,
'Cause you're too late! so kiss your ass goodbye, mate!

    This version (the one on the album) is just Billy Talent, the version featuring Anti-Flag is a special edition bonus :)

    It's so sad this is the only normal (original) Turn your back on the youtube, and it's only 480p... But atleast it's here :D

    L.... F....

    You need more than 480p just for the album cover? xD

    L.... F....

    +Flo Ryan Yes. I like it when good music is in good quality

    L.... F....

    @Đ.magyar Đollar That has nothing to do with the audio, my friend.

    L.... F....

    @Flo Ryan Well it kinda has. You may not notice but sometimes when you compare a 144p and a 1080p video's audio it has some quality differences

  23. J.... S....

    Forša dziesma :)

    J.... S....

    @Janis Spruds Tas gan....cerams ka nakshie albumi ari buus tikpat labii.....:)

    J.... S....

    Are you from Latvia?

  24. C.... V....

    Listen to the riff in metallica- cyanide, then listen to the riff in this. Exactly the same, either way both great songs, just found that to be neat.

    C.... V....

    i've listened
    there is only one same part
    other riffs are way diffrent
    and iguess turn your back is harmonice E minor or E major
    cyanide is probably normal E minor

    C.... V....

    Believe, hardly anyone would wanna copy something off of Death Magnetic. 

  25. j.... P....

    nd' when the clock strikes 12, tell me where you gonna be? cleaning up the mess we've made or watching your TV?
    aannd if you have to ask, then you don't have a clue, thrs snow in Arizona while they're bombing in Beirut!!!

    E.... G....

    ERIC GIBSON well billy talent obviously didn't feel that way

    E.... G....

    This isn't even the special edition version with Anti Flag in it, lmao

    This is all Billy Talent, so you were really just insulting them.

  29. A.... ....

    Polish roots ... And all clear

  39. L.... ....

    2:49 -> epic ;)

  40. A.... G....

    Dude.. watch a video of this song live. Anti-Flag sings a verse and I think part of the chorus.

  41. A.... B....

    No they don't. Trust me, I can clearly hear Billy Talent, no one else. There's his background singers there, but only the band. Sorry for bursting your bubble.

  42. L.... S....

    to further prove it, here is the link to the actual version of this song with Anti Flag actually in it.

    /watch?v=yII-a1NdPkY

  43. L.... S....

    The album version of this song does not feature any other musicians in it. The single of this song (released an entire year before the song released) does feature other musicians. An easy Google search answered this. You all should try it sometime.

  44. A.... G....

    Anti-flag is in this song... Dude they sing half of it..

  45. A.... G....

    This song features Anti-flag you know that right???
