But I think it's always been that way"
Did you think these tracks in the dust would last

You know the hero still saves the
Cheap and the lying politicians
Did you think these tracks in the dust would last
And have another glass of wine
Will get worse"
But I think, we're passing through here kind of fast
To make it through the night

I think, we're passing through here kind of fast

And he said, "He's right honey
Damsel in distress, the villain doesn't get her
