Yeah some folks say it's lying As they turn the other cheek Well you can't expect greatness When the leadership is cheap You take what you're owed and give what you can spare Just be honest with yourself and the rest might just be fair We're miles away We're miles away We were broke before this sickness And I don't think it will change There's a fire in the thicket And the kettle's burning hot And all the wishful thinking And the people are so thick Naive for wishful thinking Moving forward down that line You take what you're owed and give what you can spare Just be honest with yourself and the rest might just be fair Don't say anything for awhile Like you rowed 300 miles We got to get back some time When justice calls a calling And I hope it's cold and true Is there something is there nothing Cause we wandered in this darkness We're miles We're miles away but we need it We're miles We're miles away but we need it
