1. I've been waving too many banners, marching down too many streets
Seen too much injustice, had too many defeats
But I'm not hanging up my boots
I'm just not walking so many miles
It's my night off from saving the world
You'll have to do without me for a while (Repeat last two lines)
2. If I've made any promises you know I won't renege
It's just that all this care and concern has given me compassion fatigue
I know there's a lot of bad things going on
I don't have to know all the details
It's my night off from saving the world
I hope you can keep it on the rails (Repeat last two lines)
3. Tomorrow I'll be back standing beside you taking my place in the line
Playing my part, doing my bit taking your cause up as mine
But for now don't ask me to cry any tears
Or make any emotive displays
It's my night off from saving the world
I seem to need more of 'em these days (Repeat last two lines)
(Then) I seem to need more of 'em these days
