The measure of man is not his brutality
It is his mind
Thousands will say you are the better man
If you survive
But I understand it’s not so simple as
As planting trees
You gotta prepare to take some shit my man
Remain at peace
Not dance on him again
‘Cause he caught your eye
It shouldn’t be hard to let the monkeys pass
With just alarm
But night after night you’re playing dangerous
Who will you harm?
Now I am appalled ‘cause I’ve seen sights of you
With golden hands
Ready to lead the hearts of honesty
To foreign lands
Not dance on him again
‘Cause he caught your eye
Just a little of it
Just a little of it
Just a little spine (to walk on by)
Just a little of it
Just a little of it
Just a little pride (in your own life)
I've seen you in green fields with a golden ship a-passing you
It's strange how these feelings abort your longer breeding
And I know now it's over but I know not your point of view
I know now cause is yours alone
Just a little of it
Just a little of it
Just a little spine (to walk on by)
Just a little of it
Just a little of it
Just a little pride (in your own life)
