Sometimes I’m dirty, sometimes I’m clean
Sometime I talk in circles so I don’t know what I mean
Although I am uncertain, one thing seems clear
I don’t know very much, but I’m still glad to be here

Because I’ve got a conscience and he’s got the same name
When it goes badly he gets the blame
When it goes good I get the acclaim
When I get hit he feels the pain

Weren’t you before me or were in the past
You’ll have to excuse me, I didn’t think that this was going to last
Well, I heard the road that spirals down
Has been paved with the best intentions that can be found

I’ve got a conscience and he’s got a name
When it goes badly he gets the blame
When it goes good I get the acclaim
When I get hit he feels the pain

Too many cooks tried to fix your dinner
Not enough of this, too much that
So many voices tried to speak as one
Whatcha doing right, whatcha doing wrong

CHORUS
You took it hard, you shook it down
But maybe this time, like no ther time
You’ll be unbound

When your feet of clay finally hit the ground
At the speed of sound, nothing more was heard
In a flash of fire that left behind no smoke
What was once too bright is now as dark as night

CHORUS

I wish that I could say that I was surprised
When I heard the news tthat you had said goodbye
I hope you’re doing well, I hope it’s good this time
Somewhere I heard that you were doing fine

CHORUS
