Maybe I shouldn't have spoken
just kept my mouth shut
maybe all the effort didn't help much
singing for better conditions
hoping for better days
not saying that we're perfect
or looking for some praise [bad word] just plain lies
but we're on the same side [bad word] let's put it aside [bad word] we're on the same side
knowing if I stumble
aware if I fall
I don't need finger pointed at me
if you're not trying at all
not trying [bad word] off righteous
just always tried to be sincere
didn't mean [bad word] off so well-learned
cause I'm just another peer [bad word] just plain lies
but we're on the same side [bad word] let's put it aside [bad word] we're on the same side
I know what I'm shooting for (PUT IT ASIDE)
I know how it felt
and I don't have to prove it to anybody
because I already proved it to myself
no matter where I am in this world
I know exactly where I stand
I thought we were on the same side man
but at least I know I've tried
