Well give me good reasons
And I'll take you by the hand
I'll try not to jump the tracks
As I take you by the hand
I'm taking the monster of corruption
By the hand

I'll try not to squeeze it
But I'll take it by the hand
You sure didn't ask for it
But I'll take you by the hand
You watch while the house burns down
I'll still take you by the hand

I'll match your despondency

And then take you by the hand
And if it's all wrong you'll see
I'll still take you by the hand
You're looking for tenderness
So I'll take you by the hand

When no-one's defending you
I will take you by the hand
I'll be taking the monster of corruption
By the hand
It does not affect the way
That I will take you by the hand
