Lyrics
Take the Good
Verse 1:
Open your eyes and resurrect your inner dreams
This life will never go exactly how you need
Think about your struggles nobody ever sees
It’s in the ways and the days you let it be
Verse 2:
Go take a walk and look around you for a change
We’re so divided and it’s always been the same
We judge eachother on our different faith and race
Together we remember everything in vain
Chorus:
It’s all the bullshit that happens everyday
It’s all the little things you can’t explain away
No matter what you do this world is full of hate
So take the good when the good comes your way
Verse 3:
I’ve lived and easy life compared to that of most
I’ve never fought or killed or even been alone
So what gives us the right to choose who lives and dies
I swear forever we will never make it right
You see these people and they’re fighting for their lives
When all they really want is simple peace of mind
We go about our days and act like it’s all fine
We’re preconditioned to just listen and abide
Chorus:
It’s all the bullshit that happens everyday
It’s all the little things you can’t explain away
No matter what you do this world is full of hate
So take the good when the good comes your way
Verse 2:
There ain’t no waiting for the fighting to subside
It’s in our nature to destroy all we got
If you can figure out a way to make a change
We are a waiting on this hating to a fade
Chorus:
It’s all the bullshit that happens everyday
It’s all the little things you can’t explain away
No matter what you do this world is full of hate
So take the good when the good comes your way
So take the good when the good comes your way
So take the good when the good comes your way
