Boats
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have we been lyin' to ourselves again
To cover up the things that have been going on?
Is it because we're caught up in our wishful thinking
That it seems that nothing's wrong?
I know, I know
I know we know
We like to change our history
And justify, justify
We'll base it on a true story
But I know we know, I know we know
We'll tell the wind which way to sail these boats
We like to change our history
Oh, come on, come on, come on
Come on, let's right some wrongs
Come on, come on, come on (hey)
You're acting like a child who's got no worries
But behind it all, you're a raging bull
But look at me 'cause I'm no better
Getting good at playing the role of being mister cold
I know, I know
I know we know
We like to change our history
And justify, justify
We'll base it on a true story
But I know we know, I know we know
We'll tell the wind which way to sail these boats
We like to change our history
Oh, come on, come on, come on
Come on, let's right some wrongs
Come on, come on, come on (hey)
We can change the names to protect the innocent
The times and the dates of every incident
We can change the names to protect the innocent
I know, I know, oh, I know we know
We like to change our history
And justify, justify
We'll base it on a true story
But I know we know, I know we know
We'll tell the wind which way to sail these boats
We like to change our history
Oh, come on, come on, come on
Come on, let's right some wrongs
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, let's right some wrongs (come on)
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, let's right some wrongs (come on)
Come on, come on, come on
