Several Bad Examples

from Left To Our Own Devices by As Good As It Gets

lyrics

Refresh my bad news box another champion has lost
We placed so much stock in, but didn’t calculate the cost
What a shame! Are we to blame for every monster causing pain?
Every crime, and every time we let the standard stay the same

Despite a history of violence paired with sobering silence
But in the end the story will explode

Add one more to the sample of several bad examples
Who succeed in selling lies
That’s one more than a handful of countless getting canceled
Who believe we're wasting time
But we at least have to try

Forgive us our soapbox, but no one here is clean
Check your hands and your playlists, there’s blood between the streams
What a time to be alive! All our heroes in disguise
Supposed fame, stubborn shame, the art of moral compromise

And the history of violence paired with sobering silence
but in the end the pompous will implode

Add one more to the sample of several bad examples
Who succeed in selling lies
That’s one more than a handful of countless getting canceled
Who believe we're wasting time
But we at least have to try
