Blue Rodeo - How Long Lyrics

Forever lost in comparisons

Between you and the better man

Yea you're always so quick

To take a bow

I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy

And your postcard sincerity

Don't you ever get tired

Of being yourself



It's getting so hard to find you

As you fade into your world of reprisal

As you slip into the comfort

Of your denial

Your patriotic smile

Your go down in style



And you say that you're not to blame

Yea you're proud of what you did

And you'd do it again

All in the name of God and country

But that's too bad about the little snag

Cause getting caught is such a drag

Even in the name of God and country



Still you're all the same to me

You're just trying to make points on national t.v.

Yea you try to make points for God

God and country

You call this justice

I call this self-service



Solo



And I hope that I never find

What you call good conscience

Or peace of mind

As another man dies for God and country

Cause I'm sure while you're sitting there talking

Well the bombs are falling

All in the name

All in the name

All in the name of God and country
