Compassion Is a German Word Songtext
von To Kill a King

Don′t be so arrogant
You ain't no different
To anyone I′ve met
We're all the heroes in our own film
Or maybe the villain in someone else's

The Ned Flanders to someone′s Homer
The Cobain to someone′s Courtney
It's the weight of this comforting thought
That keeps the gun locked safe in the drawer

Don′t be so destructive
You ain't no different
To anyone I′ve met
We're all fighting our own battles
Struggling to swallow some salty regrets

We all got a Caliban
And an Ariel fixed up in our minds
Dissecting every choice we make
Like some teenage cheerleader barking at the gate, I say


Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of choice

Don′t feel so guilty
You've not had a thought
Someone else hasn't had
And if by some chance you did
Then that should be enough to die happy man

We′re all drowning in this darkness
That you see despite all our progress
Never seems to thin no matter
How long on this rock we′re spinning so I preach

Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of choice


Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of choice

Compassion, compassion, compassion
Compassion, compassion, oh
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of-
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Co-co-co-co-co-co
Compassion, compassion, compassion
Is my weapon of choice
