They Got Away - Built To Spill

They got the things that they wanted

Forgot the things that they say

They got the things that they came for

And they got away

And then they say:

We would never harm no one

Intelligence we received was wrong

Only a fool takes power at its word

They got the things that they wanted

Forgot the things that they say

They got the things that they came for

And they got away

And then they say:

We would never harm no one

We would only strategically bomb

All of humanity hangs by a thread

They got the things that they wanted

Forgot the things that they say

They got the things that they came for

And they got away

And then they say:

We would never appease no one

We negotiate with gods

Jesus would hate what they’ve done with this world
