lyrics

I never listened to the messages
That you were leaving every day
Why would I ever listen to them
When I've got nothing left to say
But yesterday we sat right down
And listened all the long way through
You think you're crazy and yeah I think that's true
But baby, we are here for you

You're painting picture perfect postcards
Of penitentiary blues
You say that you've been paying homage to your heroes
To whom you've yet to pay your dues
But we will offer up your sacrifice
And hope the savor will be sweet
You think you're crazy and yeah we think that's true
But sunshine, we are here for you
We might not understand just what you've been through
But sweetness, we are here for you
We know the consequences of what you do
But children, we are here for you
We might not understand just what you've been through
But children, we are here for you
You think you're crazy and yeah we think that's true
But children, we are here for you
We are here for you
We are here for you
