Mea Culpa

When all the heroes of the world stand up to fight

It never makes a difference

They may as well accept their destiny in life

No-one will come to their defence

And how much suffering could justify these words?

There would terror in our houses if no other voice was heard

I've been guilty of despairing of the world

Mea culpa, i won't say another word

Somebody shut me up

'cause here it comes again

This time i promise to take care

Cut out my tongue cause it's more trouble that it's worth

But i can feel it, it's still there

Though it's true, many others disagree

There is more to life than this

At least it feels that way to me

I think i've done all that i could

But they're still baying for my blood

I know that it could never make a difference

Mea culpa, i won't say another word

Though it seems contrived and a pitiful defence

But it'll taken down and it'll be used in evidence

I go on for you, for me, for years
