Honest Mistake - The Dudes

It’s an honest mistake to let a young heart break

And the promise you make can be taken home, or taken away

When love is sold and bought at less than cost these days

I’ve found the perfect replacement for love

Just in case she eludes me in life

I’m alive and oh, that’s a miracle

And they say we’re born in lust, love’s just a dream to us

And my heart is a slayer of doubts, a purveyor of keeping you out

An obeyer of no one and nothing at all

There ain’t no way we’re going to stop today

That’s how we operate

The world can destroy herself, she won’t employ my help

We’re our own children and we won’t be blamed for none of it

(«Oh man, you effed up big time.»

«What?

We kind of just fell off.»

«Teresa is gonna kill you.»)

Not my fault

You make an honest mistake, they never let you forget it

Your cut of the take was a loss, she did but you didn’t regret it

Cause they say we come from dust, look what’s become of us

We’re gonna give 'em our worst if they hurt us on purpose

When loves in decline, it’s a crime but oh, we’re criminals

And there ain’t no day gonna stop the way that we operate

The world can destroy herself, she won’t employ my help

We’re our own children and we won’t be blamed for none of it
