More Than I Can Afford

I bet a clean conscience

Costs more

Costs more than I can afford

I bet a clean conscience

Costs more

Costs more than I can afford

I'm a peace protest today

Oh what a shame

I get down in every way

Because it makes no change, so

I will try

To see a sign today

And I will lie

If one don't come my way

I wash my hands and move on up

My my

Haven't we done enough?

I bet a clean conscience

Costs more

Costs more than I can afford

Costs more

Costs more than I can afford

I know what's right I know what's wrong

And in a way

I get where everybody's coming from

But it makes no change, so

I will try

To see a sign today

My oh my

My oh my

I will try

To see a sign today

And I will lie

If one don't come my way
