The Best Inside You - David Baerwald

So you wanted your stronghold

You wanted some peace

You wanted exemption from longing

You wanted fine clothes

And a powerful engine

And most of all a sense of belonging

So you did what you did

And you were only a kid

Now your actions rise up now

To haunt you

All those promises that you made

All you’ve taken in trade

You gave away

The best inside you

But what else could you do The streets are so lonesome and empty

The best inside you

But nobody blames you

You come from the land

Of hope and plenty

Mornings are lonely

Nights are cold neon

You own all you ever dreamed of Turn away from the past

And move on ever faster

A slave to the name of your freedom

You do what you can

But you are only one man

And right now you feel like less than nothing

All those promises that you made

All you’ve taken in trade

You gave away

The best inside you

But what else could you do The streets are so lonesome and empty

The best inside you

But nobody blames you

You come from the land of plenty

The best inside you

So what are you gonna do Are you desperate enough for repentance

The best inside you

Mocking you as you sleep

The secrets that you keep inside you

What you want is what you get

What you get ain’t what you want

What you want is what you get

What you get ain’t what you want

The best inside you

But what else could you do The streets are so lonesome and empty

The best inside you

But nobody blames you

You come from the land of plenty
