Lyrics They Got Away - Built To Spill

They Got Away

They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away
And then they say:
We would never harm no one
Intelligence we received was wrong
Only a fool takes power at its word
They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away
And then they say:
We would never harm no one
We would only strategically bomb
All of humanity hangs by a thread
They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away
And then they say:
We would never appease no one
We negotiate with gods
Jesus would hate what they’ve done with this world
