lyrics

Someday I will be your friend, if it takes all my life. For although I don't like what you stand for, I know it's alright.
I know I'm not always right.
And though you might be alright, I know that you are wrong.

Back when we were barbarians, it was easy to be real. You could follow your passions, do whatever you feel, but that shit can kill if you get in the way.
It's alright. I know I'm not always right.
And though you might be alright, I know that you are wrong.

Who do you think you are?
To be right all the time, when you've caused so much harm?

Although I voted against it, you represent me. You say what I stand for, you tell me what I need. But I won't kill for you, so please, don't kill for me.
It's alright. I know I'm not always right.
And though you might be alright, I know that you are wrong.

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
To be right all the time, when you're so god damn wrong?

Someday I will be your friend.

There is not always an answer
there is not always an answer
war is never the answer

Someday I will be your friend, if it takes all my life. For although I don't like what you stand for, I know
