The Greater Good Lyrics

A one, two, three, ah

Sometimes for the greater good
I do what I know I should
But even so it often seems
That what I should, is ill conceived

There was a time when what went wrong
Was closely tied to who belonged
In lifeboat seats that fill up fast
Musical chairs for real at last

There's a place inside your eye
Where I could never hope to be
Yet I'm sure you've always seen
A less than perfect side of me

There's a time when boundaries fade
And marches lead their own parade
Ignoring goals, it stops and yields
While patient crowds still line the fields

There's a place we always go
And though we plan to take it slow
It feels we just arrived and then
We blink and have to leave again
There's a place inside my mind
Where this is all completely fine
That's a place I've never been
And never hope to go again

Never hope to go again
I never hope to go again
Never hope to go again

Sometimes for the greater good
I do what I know I should
Sometimes for the greater good
I do what I know I should
