lyrics

If they had a dollar
They’d want fifty cents
They'd take their three quarters
And spare no expense

That’s the problem with power
It doesn’t make sense

If they had a weapon
They’d want twenty more
With their guns on their shoulders
Their guts on the floor

Their arms couldn't take
Any arms anymore

I think people are good
They just make mistakes
And some you forgive
The rest you just take

The alternative isn’t worth bracing the ache
The alternative isn’t worth bracing the ache

If they had a reason they’d burn you alive
Claiming what’s best for the queen is what’s best for the hive
Put the world in reverse for a leisurely drive

If they could see you curled up in a bind
(In a bind)
Caked in the dirt with your limbs intertwined
(Intertwined)
When you’re out of their sight you are out of their mind
(Out of their mind)

I think people are good
They just make mistakes
And some you forgive
The rest you just take

The alternative isn’t worth bracing the ache
The alternative isn’t worth bracing the ache

I think people are good
They just make mistakes
And some you forgive
The rest you just take

I think people are good
They just make mistakes
And some you forgive
The rest you just take
