Lyrics

Common Ground

There’s bars on the windows runnin’ down the street
They go on and on as far as I can see
I’m timing the green lights to keep me movin’ away

It’s gonna take some time for me to get clear
I’m sure I’ve gotta get out out of here
If I don’t I know I’ll never get past the gray

I want to find something better than what’s around
I won’t spend my life in this hopeless town
Find something better Find common ground

Find common ground and start over again
Gonna try to forget about where we’ve been
Find common ground and bury all our sin
We can burn this town…. or find common ground

This protest is gettin’ kinda hard to believe
They’re looting and destroying everything they see
Who can define justice, anyway?

Misguided leaders only bring divide
There’s a sense of fear on either side
The tears of the wounded just keep flowing away

I want to find something better than what’s around
I won’t spend my life in this hopeless town
Find something better Find common ground

Find common ground and start over again
Gonna try to forget about where we’ve been
Find common ground and bury all our sin
We can burn this town…. or find common ground

Preachers are just like medicine shows
Peddling snake oil … And so it goes

Find common ground and start over again
Gonna try to forget about where we’ve been
Find common ground and bury all our sin
We can burn this town…. or find common ground

:There’s bars on the windows runnin’ down the street
