In times of poverty, hunger, or distress My virtue recedes And noble purposes must be set aside For practical needs With cunning and a bit of stealth We'll multiply our meager wealth I promise not to break the law Or risk our health Will we cling to broken social codes In a world where anything goes? Take what's ours or dress in friar's robes? Bleed like saints or smile like rogues? Smile like rogues I tend to hold myself unaccountable For thoughts in my head And if a bright idea suddenly appears I'll follow that thread Focus on this and nothing else Do what necessity compels And when this life comes to an end Forgive yourself Will we cling to broken social codes In a world where anything goes? Take what's ours or dress in friar's robes? Bleed like saints or smile like rogues? Smile like rogues Will we cling to broken social codes In a world where anything goes? Take what's ours or dress in friar's robes? Bleed like saints or smile like rogues? Smile like rogues Anything goes Smile like rogues
