I had the best of intentions
When I got out of bed today
I set out to make things right
Make some of the pain go away World peace seemed so out of reach
So I touched the people I knew
May not have stopped any wars
But I accomplished a thing or two I fulfilled some promises
And I gave alms to the poor
I defended a helpless man
Just to even the score Sometimes the best of intentions
Never gets anything done
I fall down on my face
Start again from square one Even when things don't add up
And I can do nothing more
I think about the days I've won
When I evened the score I fulfilled some promises
And I gave alms to the poor
I defended a helpless man
just to even the score I made amends with an old lover
We tipped the winegla** once more
Better friends than enemies
Just to even the score I only wanted not to lose anymore
And live to fight one day more I had the best of intentions
But I think I mighta hurt someone
I'll have to move a mountain
To undo the damage I've done I'll fulfill some promises
I'll give alms to the poor
I'll defend a helpless man
Just to even the score I'll make amends with an old lover
We'll tip the winegla** once more
Better friends than enemies
Just to even the score I'll spread the wealth from a to z
Rob the rich and give to the poor
If only things could be that way
I'd even the score
