I guess it’s safe to say
That we should’ve seen it coming
Maybe put us in the way
And the look in your eyes like you believed the lies
And like title ever could have took the place of pride
I don’t know
Hardly seems worth the effort to explain
And I don’t know if I’m disgusted more or less than I’m
betrayed
But we never could have stood to see another man a
slave
And to think how close we came to a brand new day
Hey!
Could’ve ended better but instead I’m gonna walk away
It’s always been this way
Such a f*cking shame
Row on row of empty causes
Nets and losses
Stupid goddamned game
And I don’t know if I’m disgusted more or less than I’m
betrayed
But we never could have stood to see another man a
slave
And to think how close we came to a brand new day
Hey!
Could’ve ended better but instead I’m gonna walk away
And the look in your eyes like you believed the lies
And like title ever could’ve took the place of pride
I’ve walked a lot of lines
Had a couple bad times
But I just can’t stand to pitch that line
