By The Way

What is your decision
She said, we're almost there
It's the same taste of freedom
That we saw, but never had
It's the same as before
All the lanes that we draw

And by the way, we're better than this
And all along it's been worth the risk
And some might fall but these are the times
We came for it, yeah, we came for it
And by the way, I'm feeling tall
We're miles apart and I can't cry anymore
We'll start a war, I hope you're ready to fly
Cos we came for it, yeah, we came for it

And I saw police standing five to one
She was kneeling down, 25 and on the ground
Another four police, pray no time to wait
Saying, line up your ghosts and get outta the way
We survived with this world in a riot
We're all criminals sold on the lie
That if we don't rock the boat then you'll be safe, safe
But we're not safe

And, by the way, we're better than this
And all along it's been worth the risk
And some might fall but these are the times
We came for it, yeah, we came for it
And by the way, I'm feeling tall
We're miles apart and I can't cry anymore
We'll start a war, I hope you're ready to fly
Cos we came for it, yeah, we came for it

I found her feet turned towards the sun
Because of there guns 45 on the run
She was just 19 with no time to waste
Saying freedom's a choice, but not today
You've been the law with it all with the riot
We're all criminals trading on the lie
That if we don't rock the boat that we'll be safe, safe
But we're not safe

And, by the way, we're better than this
And all along it's been worth the risk
And some might fall but these are the times
We came for it, yeah, we came for it
And by the way, I'm feeling tall
We're miles apart and I can't cry anymore
We'll start a war, hope you're ready to fly
Cos we came for it, yeah, we came for it

Despite the sound of that pop
Besides the sound that I drop
And how we feel afraid, like I'm not
Despise the ground that we walk
Because if you jog you might be man
If you walk you might be a man
If you talk you might be a man
That kinda shit never stops

Oh, wasted on these broken rules, it's funny how
Desperation goes round and around
But, they don't wanna let go

And some might say, we're better than this
And all along it's been worth the risk
And some might fall, but these are the times
And we came for it
And by the way, I'm feeling tall
We're miles apart and I can't cry anymore
We'll start a war, hope you're ready to fly
Cos we came for it, yeah, we came for it
