You've gotta be a better man son
Someone they wanna believe
It's complicated these games we play but
Nobody's keeping score
Until the day you came around and
Gambled it all
So here you are
Here we are now
You gotta get up now
You gotta get up now
Clean the blood off your hands today
And put the past in the past today
Put the past in the past
No use in beating the battle drums
No use in fighting at all
This memory that haunts you so has nothing
Nothing, not your soul
So here we are now
You gotta get up now
Clean the blood off your hands today
And put the past in the past today
Put the past in the past
Running from a hurricane
Hiding in the sugarcane
Under the table
With nothing suitable to wear out
Swell the vein
Steady the needle
Blood for blood
And a moment peaceful
Clean the blood off your hands today
And put the past in the past today
And put the past in the past
