Paroles de The Greater Good

A one, two, three, ah

Sometimes for the greater good
I do what I know I should
But even so it often seems
That what I should, is ill conceived

There was a time when what went wrong
Was closely tied to who belonged
In lifeboat seats that fill up fast
Musical chairs for real at last

There's a place inside your eye
Where I could never hope to be
Yet I'm sure you've always seen
A less than perfect side of me

There's a time when boundaries fade
And marches lead their own parade
Ignoring goals, it stops and yields
While patient crowds still line the fields

There's a place we always go
And though we plan to take it slow
It feels we just arrived and then
We blink and have to leave again
Never hope to go again
I never hope to go again
Never hope to go again

Sometimes for the greater good
I do what I know I should
Sometimes for the greater good
I do what I know I should
