It's said that some believe And many of us don't That our tiny little footprints Are really not our own If you ask me we have failed To fully understand That our collective sorrow Comes from our own hands And all the crap we chase The things we try to hide It doesn't really matter When we're eventually found out So don't you worry about our future That you won't be here to see You can rest easy my darling citizens If you think it was me And somewhere west of Oregon Is the litter of our lives Swirling as a constant Beyond our view And no one ever sees it And no one makes a change We'll keep on keeping on now It was always always about the others I'm making a confession I'm as bad as all the rest This song is my apology For the shit I passed to you Let's admit we are complicit Let's admit we fucked things up Let's work to make it better It was not about the others It was really me and you Somewhere west of Oregon Is the litter of our lives Swirling as a constant Beyond our view And no one ever sees it And no one makes a change We'll keep on keeping on now It was always always about the others
