lyrics

If you asked me to come with you to a strange new place,
I would go in a heartbeat.
Just get me out of this concrete excuse for a life I am in.
This has got to be a sin.
You must make a friend of suffering.

But isn’t it more in keeping with glorying in suffering
If I stay in this cage,
‘Cause I’m in more pain than I’d ever be in
Out there in the wild.
Yeah, I’m in more pain than I’d ever be in
Out there in the wild.

So let yourself off at the next stop.
Being on top wasn’t as great as you thought.
Knock on my door, love, I’ll let you in.
You know, you’ve got to forgive to be forgiven.
And as fire rains down from the sky
You’re in a cemetery praying, but you don’t know why,
And you say you’ve had all you can stand.
You know, it’s hard to be a good man.
You know, it’s hard to be a good man.
