The Alternative Songtext
von Cusp

If they had a dollar, they′d want 50 cents
They'd take their three quarters and spare no expense
That′s the problem with power, it doesn't make sense

If they had a weapon, they'd want 20 more
With their guns on their shoulders, their guts on the floor
Their arms couldn′t take any arms anymore

I think people are good, they just make mistakes
And some you forgive, the rest, you just take
The alternative isn′t worth bracing the ache
The alternative isn't worth bracing the ache


If they had a reason, they′d burn you alive
Claiming what's best for the queen is what′s best for the hive
Put the world in reverse for a leisurely drive

If they could see you curled up in a bind (in a bind)
Caked in the dirt with your limbs intertwined (intertwined)
When you're out of their sight, you are out of their mind (out of their mind)

I think people are good, they just make mistakes
And some you forgive, the rest, you just take
The alternative isn′t worth bracing the ache
The alternative isn't worth bracing the ache

I think people are good, they just make mistakes
And some you forgive, the rest, you just take
I think people are good, they just make mistakes
And some you forgive, the rest, you just take
