The Common Good Lyrics

We are only speaking from our conscience
He's gonna take us when he wants us
We only need a little piece
Somewheres in style
somewhere out of reach

If this is love I'm gonna lose there is no doubt
You're gonna chew me up and spit me out

A little faith a little money
You shouldn't laugh this isn't funny

We're gonna give back what we steal
Just say the word and I shall be healed

If I love you I'm gonna lose there is no doubt
You're gonna chew me up and spit me out
If I love you I'm gonna lose there is no doubt
Go ahead and chew me up and spit me out

Surprised no one has commented on this song yet. It is easily my favorite one on the album. It really seems to be a heartbreakingly simple song about wanting to love, and knowing it's going to destroy you.
