You wanna rock with the cops on the front line
you wanna kick it with the people in the back
you strike a match and you throw back a cocktail
there's got to be a better way
(chorus)

it is harder to stay

it is harder to wait

to out-love, to out-suffer them



i wanna dream up a world i wanna live in

i wanna spray it on a building downtown

i wanna protest with patience and a paycheck

'cause there's got to be a better way



(chorus)



don't wanna wait

no drugs or sleep

i wanna hold your hand grenade



God bless these bombs

baptize this rope

lie with us in the bed we've made



(chorus)
