Guardrails Songtext
von Counterpunch

So far so quick to accept the teaching to define as right
Round pegs in such square holes
Retrofitted and stripped of all we know
On the left, a tragedy played out for all to witness
The bleeding out, the drawing in
Moving forward before we begin to fade out

These days I find I′m living in shades of grey
And I'm just fine with where I am
Not another broken piece in a broken system
I′m not listening when you say
There's something wrong with where I am or what I've done
This is where I belong

Stabilized and medicated down
Overworked and underpaid
In this place that we call home
Asked to accept and do our part
A rebirth read us onto hearts
Keeping town but not in grey
Moving forward before we begin to fade out


These days I find I′m living in shades of grey
And I′m just fine with where I am
Not another broken piece in a broken system
I'm not listening when you say
There′s something wrong with where I am or what I've done
This is where I belong
This is who I should be

So let′s keep it honest
We're all damaged goods
Selling out though we swore we never would
Round peg
Square hole
Don′t they know?

These days I find I'm living in shades of grey
And I'm just fine with where I am
Not another broken piece in a broken system
These days I find I′m living in shades of grey
And I′m just fine with where I am
Not just fine with where I am
These days I find I'm living in shades of grey
These days I find I′m living in shades of grey
