lyrics

Tomorrow I’ll start hanging my pants in the closet
Today I’ll just be locking these words up in a drawer
Maybe I’ll just fall asleep & not have to think about it
Maybe somehow we’ve won this private little war

If we only ever followed our heart we’d be lost without it
If we emulate the victim in distress what have we won
Any opinion may be valid up until you feel the need to shout it
Third brother of a father who never did want a son

If I’ve learned one thing for certain it’s that everybody’s got a story to tell
If you don’t want to know it just move along, it isn’t something that we’re trying to sell
All of your politics and your get-rich-quicks ain’t gonna help you once the power is cut
Once history has proven herself through with you we’ll have to bury all of you standing up

Now we all get along pretty well if you think about it
Until the finger-pointing starts & everybody is throwing stones
We’ve got hatred enough to last a lifetime, you continue to spout it
Through our tv screens, our laptops, and our cell phones

You know we all fall down every once in a while, what matters is the way you try to get up
Will you make yourself taller standing on someone’s back & grinding their face into the mud
Because we all really are each other even when we want to rip out each other’s hearts
And still there’s only so much room on the planet
