Can't Take It Back
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.
Brave face in the final hour
Gave way to a higher power
Raise the flag in the city street
But nothing seems to go the way you planned
You sent the word down from above
To break the balls of your bully cuz
But two wrongs ain't making right
Now we're in so deep that there's no easy way out...
No you can't take it back now
The whole world has seen how
You covered all your tracks and
Wrapped yourself in blood red tape
No doubt people should be free
Be sure to practice what you preach
Half good intentions can go either way
Now we're in so deep that there's no easy way out...
No you can't take it back now
The whole world has seen how
You covered all your tracks and
Wrapped yourself in blood red tape
Guess I'll see you in hell
Don't you know we're all just the same man?
Can't take it back now
The whole world has seen how
You covered all your tracks and
Wrapped yourself in blood red tape
Meanwhile you're spinning all the facts
For you kaleidoscope escape
Your diplomatic monkey wrench
Claims it's self defense
Spare no expense
