Bad Sounds More Than I Can Afford
[Refrain]
I bet a clean conscience
Costs more
Costs more than I can afford
I bet a clean conscience
Costs more
Costs more than I can afford
[Verse 1]
I'm a peace protest today
Oh, what a shame, yeah
I get down in every way
Because it makes no change, so
[Chorus]
I will try, baby
To see a sign today
And I will lie, baby
If one don't come my way
[Verse 2]
I wash my hands and move on up
My, my, my
Haven't we done enough?
[Refrain]
Yeah, I bet a clean conscience
Costs more
Costs more than I can afford
Costs more
Costs more than I can afford
[Verse 3]
I know what's right, I know what's wrong
And in a way
I get where everybody's coming from
But it makes no change, so
[Chorus]
I will try, baby
To see a sign today
My, oh, my, baby
My, oh, my, baby
And I will try, baby
To see a sign today (See a sign)
And I will lie, baby (I will lie, lie, lie)
If one don't come my way
