I´m standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
I can´t help but look thinking that everyone doesn´t get it
To my left is a window, where did I go
My reflection just planted two rows of coal
And bad ideas, ideas none the less, and so

I´ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don´t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

I´ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don´t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

Happiness stumbled upon a chapel last night
And I can´t help but back up when I think of what happens inside
I´ve got friends locked in boxes, that´s no way to live
What you calling a sin, isn´t up to them
Afterall, afterall I thought we were all your children
But I will die for my own sins, thanks a lot
We´ll rise up ourselves, thanks for nothing at all
So up off the ground, our forefathers are nothing but dust now

I´ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don´t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

I´ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don´t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth
I am over twenty-five
And I can´t make a name for myself
Some nights I break down and cry
Lucky that my father´s still alive
He´s been fighting all his life
And if this is all I´ve ever known
May son live on forever
In my song

I´ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don´t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

I´ll put one foot in front of the other one
I don´t need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die

In front of the other one
In front of the other one
Just a better place to die
