By The Way

What is your decision?

She said, "We're almost there"

It's the same taste of freedom

That we saw, but never had

It's the same as before

All the lanes that we drove

And by the way, we're better than this

And all along, it's been worth the risk

And some might fall, but these are the times

And we came for it, yeah, we came for it

And by the way, I'm feeling torn

We're miles apart, and I can't cry anymore

You start a war, hope you're ready to fly

'Cause we came for it, yeah, we came for it

And I saw police standing five to one

She was kneeling down, twenty-five, on the ground

Another four police pray, no time to wait

Saying, "Line up your ghosts and get out of the way"

We survived with this world in a riot

We're all criminals, sold on the lie

That if you don't rock the boat, then you'll be safe, safe

But we're not safe

And by the way, we're better than this

And all along, it's been worth the risk

And some might fall, but these are the times

And we came for it, yeah, we came for it

And by the way, I'm feeling torn

We're miles apart, and I can't cry anymore

You start a war, hope you're ready to fly

'Cause we came for it, yeah, we came for it

Found her feet turned towards the sun because

Of their guns, forty-five, on the run, she was

Just nineteen with no time to waste and

Freedom's a choice, but not today

You've been the law with it all, with a riot

You're all criminals, trading on the lie

That if we don't rock the boat, then we'll be safe, safe

But we're not safe

And by the way, we're better than this

And all along, it's been worth the risk

And some might fall, but these are the times

And we came for it, yeah, we came for it

And by the way, I'm feeling torn

We're miles apart, and I can't cry anymore

You start a war, hope you're ready to fly

'Cause we came for it, yeah, we came for it

Despite the sound of that pop

Besides the sound of that drop

And how we feel afraid, like I'm not

Despite the ground that we walk

'Cause if you jog, you might be our man

If you walk, you might be our man

If you talk, you might be our man

Bum kind of shit never stops

Wasted on these broken rules, it's funny how

Desperation goes, round and around

But they don't wanna let go

And some might say, "We're better than this"

And all along, it's been worth the risk

And some might fall, but these are the times

And we came for it

And by the way, I'm feeling torn

We're miles apart, and I can't cry anymore

You start a war, hope you're ready to fly

'Cause we came for it, yeah, we came for it
