Bad Guys Win
from A Better Place To Be by Hopeless Otis
lyrics
Where did we go wrong, where did we fall apart? / With our heads buried under the concrete of abandoned parking lots / Because we don't have the time to fuel all o your lies / We march to these beats in four-four time
And we can walk these city streets at any time to prove we're not so hopeless inside / And so we gotta choose who we want to be / If we hide ourselves from ourselves, what's left to believe?
Because I want to feel alive again and you want to feel alive again / So let's quit these low places where we hang our heads / These parades of break lights and cloudy city skies will subside and make way for open highways
And we can walk these city streets at any time to prove we're not so hopeless inside / And so we gotta choose who we want to be / If we hide ourselves from ourselves, what's left to believe?
And we can walk these city streets at any time to prove we're not so hopeless inside / And so we gotta choose who we want to be / If we hide ourselves from ourselves, what's left to believe?
Because I want to feel alive again and you want to feel alive again / So let's quit these low places where we hang our heads / These parades of break lights and cloudy city skies will subside and make way for open highways
And we can walk these city streets at any time to prove we're not so hopeless inside / And so we gotta choose who we want to be / If we hide ourselves from ourselves, what's left to believe?
