Chorus
The lyrics of Audioweb's song "Get Out Of Here" speak about a desire for peace and non-violence in a world where conflict and violence seem to be prevalent. The singer talks about continuing to talk and communicate in order to reach an agreement and increase peace. He also speaks about the desire to end things peacefully, but acknowledges that the reality is often different, and violence may be used instead of diplomacy.
The chorus "Will I ever live to get out of here?" is a plea for escape from a world that seems fraught with danger and violence. The singer refuses to surrender, indicating that he is not a gangster or a robber who deserves punishment. He acknowledges that he may end up in prison and suffer as a result of his actions, which may attract derogatory labels like "nigger."
The lyrics also speak about the futility of violence and the need for a different approach to resolve conflicts. The line "sometimes you can't stop a bullet with a bulletproof" highlights the fact that violence often escalates rather than resolves conflicts. The singer asserts that he is not a culprit or a killer, but someone who desires to live peacefully without fear. He wishes he could escape and not worry about the dangers of the world, but acknowledges that this may not be possible.

Remembered their songs from time to time but couldn't remember the name of the band for so long. Finally found them on youtube after a comprehensive search! Really great song but surprisingly unknown.

They should have been massive, and I've still got no idea how that never happened?
