just another way to justify

i don't understand how we reach our conclusions

just another way to justify

that's not the way to make it



we sat and talked all day

not just thoughts but ways

i couldn't find a single word you had to say

like minds so hard to come by

you broke away

(even though it was) easier to stay

but you knew, you know it weren't about a gun in your face

now fewer in numbers but united by something real



true strength of mind

divided you from the just out for themselves

cos you broke away

but you knew, you know it aint about this time or this place

and self importance had almost destroyed what you had achieved

i know it was hard

but you just had to break free

does it always have to be

that greed builds our dreams and seems

to be the drive behind so many human beings

it's so sad that we've had

so much potential, many chances

so much good we've turned to bad



well walk away

live your own way

but that's not that much good to those who really

have no choice but to stay

is it so different?

illusion or something real?

is this really how you feel?



i'm sick and tired of the

wasted time and the

twisted minds who wanna strip us of a decent chance

cos they pollute with their

desire for loot and their

drug disputes

spouting fucking lame demands

well they ain't gonna waste my time

don't wanna adopt that state of mind



cos what are they thinking of?

it ain't "staying true"

it's all about what they gain

and their rude boy attitudes

well that ain't what we're thinking of

we're "staying true"

and you ain't gonna bring us down

and we ain't gonna stand by you
