about

Is violence always bad?

lyrics

Yeah I should have known,
should have known the night we met
the night that we were marching,
signs held high
that what we had would never last

But how could I have seen
just who you really were
through the sirens smoke and noise
outside the shopping mall riot

The way you looked at me that night
the invitation was painfully clear
No you didn't have to say it out loud
Yeah I should have known better
than to ask to take you home
Yeah I should have known -- yeah i should have kept quiet

If we should fall
back into each others’ arms
would it be so wrong?

If we should fall
back into each others’ arms
whose fault would it be?
I see you still have feelings for me

When I first saw you, I knew you were the one- you were different- so sensitive, so aware
You were shouting as loud as we were- no, louder even
When you said you wanted to take me home, what else could I do? I wanted to reward you.

If we fall back into each other’s arms
would it be so wrong?
If we fall back into each other’s arms,
whose fault would it be?
You still have feelings for me.

The night that it was over - the night we bombed the bank
You gave away how you really felt
Though i’m sure you didn’t know… you didn’t know what you were saying
And as I watched you light the fuse, I decided, yeah I decided
That it was time to break the rules
of the game you always thought that we were playing
And that was your last chance to get it right
but that last night… you got it wrong
Yeah i’m afraid I had you right
I was right all along

The night of the bombing I saw you for who you really were- not so different, so oblivious and so sure.
I was disgusted by the smell of ashes on your skin when you kissed me, your arm so tight round my neck.
You told me it was right, we were making a difference but I knew, as I straightened my hair, that it was over
I could argue but why would I bother when I’m right.
You’re wrong.
I was right all along.
