Even if we don't get along, I'm gonna stand up tall
I'm gonna stick to my own way
Even if we don't need each other
we can speak with each other, we can move together.
Even if we go and fall to pieces
at least we'll see that one another's pieces
are all made of the same beliefs and
even if that leads us into something we think
is gonna take what we love
to somewhere that we'll never find,
It's just like dreams where you're dying
that make us jump and defend our lives
Oh, against our pillows, partners, husbands or our wives.
Even if we don't get along, I'm gonna stand up tall
I'm gonna stick to my own way
Even if you go and lose your patience
making nasty statements talking total nonsense
I'm gonna take what you say,
and understand you've lost your mind
All in the name of the way
you thought you had to protect your kind
Oh, but it ain't so easy when you watch the news sometimes
Who would ever want to have to believe
that after living in a way they came to know so well
with people talking in the way that they've always
And then suddenly the words that were are all fragile,
messed up, the kind of the words you need to lock away and never say
because they might could go and make war one day
But nothing else around you’s actually changed
It's all the terror as it were but under some new name
I know my people aren't bad, it's just that language takes its time.
Yes, all of the cultures of man, have had to reconcile with how and why
Even if we don't get along, I'm gonna stand up tall,
I'm gonna stick to my own way.
Even if we don't need each other
We can move together, don't have to hurt each other.
