lyrics

I know you walk the tightest rope, you hide your pride behind your careful hope
You’re a sign of the times cause you’ve learned to to cope with violence and obligation

I’ve seen you straight faced in a deal, you tricked the dealer with your face of steal
I’ve seen you quietly conceal, all your moral observations

May you know when to agree and what to refuse
May you pay back in full all those people you used
May you cross your fingers like a new recruit
May heaven bend the rules for you
May heaven bend the rules for you

I’ve seen you save the ones you love, with the devil’s hand and your neighbors blood
We all know that it was you who stopped the flood, how can we linger on your calculation

I’ve seen you sharpening your tools, I know your rules and the ways they’re cruel
I have seen the things you do to fools, with only quiet conversation

May you know when to agree and what to refuse
May you pay back in full all those people you used
May you cross your fingers like a new recruit
May heaven bend the rules for you
May heaven bend the rules for you

May you know when to agree and what to refuse
May you pay back in full all those people you used
May you cross your fingers like a new recruit
May heaven bend the rules for you
May heaven bend the rules for you
