  • So say goodbye and hit the road
    Pack it up and disappear
    You better have some place to go
    'Cause you can't come back around here
    Good goodbye
    (Don't you come back no more)

    Live from the rhythm, it's
    Something wild, venomous
    Enemies trying to read me
    You're all looking highly illiterate
    Blindly forgetting if I'm in the mix
    You won't find an equivalent
    I've been here killing it
    Longer than you've been alive, you idiot
    And it makes you so mad
    Somebody else could be stepping in front of you
    And it makes you so mad that you're not the only one
    There's more than one of you
    And you can't understand the fact
    That it's over and done, hope you had fun
    You've got a lot to discuss on the bus
    Headed back where you're from

    So say goodbye and hit the road
    Pack it up and disappear
    You better have some place to go
    'Cause you can't come back around here
    Good goodbye
    Good goodbye
    Good goodbye
    Good goodbye

    Goodbye, good riddance
    A period is after every sentence
    Did my time with my cellmate
    Maxed out so now we finished
    Every day was like a hail date
    Every night was like a hailstorm
    Took her back to my tinted windows
    Showin' out, she in rare form
    Wings up, now I'm airborne
    King Push, they got a chair for him
    Make way for the new queen
    The old lineup, where they cheer for 'em
    Consequence when you ain't there for him
    Were you there for him?
    Did you care for him?
    You were dead wrong

    (Don't you come back no more)
    So say goodbye and hit the road
    Pack it up and disappear
    You better have some place to go
    'Cause you can't come back around here
    Good goodbye
    Good goodbye
    (Don't you come back no more)
    Good goodbye
    Good goodbye
    (Don't you come back no more)

    Yo
    Let me say goodbye to my demons
    Let me say goodbye to my past life
    Let me say goodbye to the darkness
    Tell 'em that I'd rather be here in the starlight
    Tell 'em that I'd rather be here where they love me
    Tell 'em that I'm yours this is our life
    And I still keep raising the bar like
    Never seen a young black brother in the chart twice
    Goodbye to the stereotypes
    You can't tell my kings we can't
    Mandem we're linking tings in parks
    Now I got a tune with Linkin Park
    Like goodbye to my old hoe's
    Goodbye to the cold roads
    I can't die for my postcode
    Young little Mike from the Gold Coast
    And now I'm inside with my bro bro's, gang

    So say goodbye and hit the road
    Pack it up and disappear
    You better have some place to go
    'Cause you can't come back around here
    Good goodbye
    Good goodbye
    (Don't you come back no more)
    Good goodbye
    Good goodbye
    (Don't you come back no more) Writer/s: BRAD DELSON, CHESTER BENNINGTON, DAVE FARRELL, JESSE SHATKIN, JOE HAHN, MICHAEL OMARI, MIKE SHINODA, ROB BOURDON, TERRENCE THORNTON
