Lyrics
We don't know how we got here
Tell stories because we forget
Probably never know what's out there
If we haven't found out yet
Life's clues fly by thick and fast
And you can't watch the movie again
You don't know the plot, if you're a good guy or not
And you don't find out in the end
It don't always turn out like it should
Despite what some folks say
Here's hoping things tip for the good
But it could really go either way
Each word you let loose from your lips
And every dollar that you spend
You don't know where it lands, or what'll come of your plans
And you don't find out in the end
What if I'd given more?
What if you hadn't missed your flight?
What if the Axis had won the war?
What if I would've called that night?
There's madness in the land
The dogs are at the door
This could well be our last stand
Though they've probably said that before
May be nothing we can do to turn it back now
But who knows, so how can you give in?
You just pick a side, and let your bet ride
You don't find out in the end
You just pick a side, and let your bet ride
You don't find out in the end
