What if I had spoken with my own voice What if I had just made my own choice What if I had just ignored the noise Life is not a destination This is not a recitation What if I could turn and start again Blame and shame and flail in vain Hold my head above the pain Mourn my losses Lick my wounds Can't kill my pride But I try I try Scale another wall just to drop again Better change my point of view Flush all self pity, you self-indulgent baby Now, don't you know Your belly is full But what if I could tower in your eyes What if I could thunder in your sky Take my place in history Come along with me Not gonna die wondering "what if I" Blame and shame and flail in vain Hold my head above the pain Mourn my losses Bless my heart And hope the pride Will soon die What if I had listened with my own voice What if I had just made my own choice What if I had just ignored the noise What if I What if I Blame and shame and flail in vain Hold my head above the pain Mourn my losses Lick my wounds Can't kill my pride But I try Blame and shame and flail in vain Hold my head above the pain Mourn my losses Bless my heart And hope the pride Will soon die

Love, I know why I play the joker With my head in the sand I won't feel this 'Cuz the feeling goes away when I refuse to believe it I see it now, clearly Like a cold, frozen river flowing nowhere With my head in the ice I won't feel this 'Cuz the feeling goes away when I refuse to feed it With my head in your hands I can face this 'Cuz the feeling doesn't stand a chance In places where you stand

Grievance 04:31
We're in a whole lot of shit Freedom don't come easy Tell me this, Mr. Pacifist From a long lost time before all of this Don't lie baby Some government daddy Come knocking the door with a gat Now, would you change your mind? You bet your life Gather your guns Time to run to the capitol Don't you wave your flags If you wouldn't die holding them There's revolution in the air You've come to take back the rainbow promise God gave you He hears your grievances He plans to save you You've stayed years in deep fear Come miles to be here Suffered the media's bullshit distortion So come with your arms Raise the dead Finally end the burning in your head God loves you Are your ready for the war Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good Come with your guns for the common good
