lyrics

There’s a storm cloud brewing right above her bed
There’s a question lingering inside her head
She can’t ask it cause she knows she won’t be heard
So she sits until the water makes her vision blur

I won’t be happy til there’s no one left
Who remembers how we got into this mess
No good comes from turning over stones
So just pick a side and know you’re not alone

Sitting down for an hour turns to four or five
Sometimes he has to pick a fight just to feel alive
He won’t listen if he knows he won’t understand
He won’t work if he knows he’s just a hired hand

I won’t be happy til there’s no one left
Who remembers how we got into this mess
No good comes from turning over stones
So just pick a side and know you’re not alone

Calling cattle only works if they can hear
Calling lovers makes them feel like they are near
There’s no exchange for the touch of another’s hand
You might have to wait just a minute with your red-hot brand

I won’t be happy til there’s no one left
Who remembers how we got into this mess
No good comes from turning over stones
So just pick a side and know you’re not alone

I won’t be happy til there’s no one left
Who remembers how we got into this mess
No good comes from turning over stones
So just pick a side and know you’re not alone

We won't listen if we know we won't understand
We won't listen if we know we won't understand
We won't listen if we know we're just hired hands
We won't listen
