| We could try to change to make a new life

| Don’t mean we gon’do right tonight

| Don’t mean we gon’do right tonight
 | 
| Hey mother, don’t let them know you
 | 
| They hunger to hold you down and control you
 | 
| Hey lover, don’t let 'em love you
 | 
| They’ll lay on top of you to stay above you
 | 
| We could try to change to make a new life
 | 
| Don’t mean we gon’do right tonight

 | 
| We all need something we can stake the blame on It can’t be your dance that made this rain storm
 | 
| It must be the alcohol, and you hate this place cos the town’s too small
 | 
| And everybody there’s so fake
 | 
| Be a brand new day if they was half awake
 | 
| Smile’n your face like 'yes sir'
 | 
| Waitin til ya turn your back so they can whisper
 | 
| And you ain’t tryin’to love none of 'em
 | 
| Na, ya know better right? | 
| Ya learned something
 | 
| But even If The first few burst through
 | 
| They only pursue cause they wanna hurt you
 | 
| It comes with a smokers cough
 | 
| Gonna turn it on until it’s broken off
 | 
| Cos suffering didn’t crush his 'just not enough'
 | 
| They wanna hold you down until they lock you up We could try to change to make a new life
 | 
| Don’t mean we gon’do right tonight
 | 
| We could try to change to make a new life
 | 
| Don’t mean we gon’do right tonight
 | 
| Hey sister, don’t let them touch you
 | 
| So friendly when they’re close enough to cut you
 | 
| Hey mister, don’t let them break you |
