Coopertheband Something Less
Crowns, golden jewels, a golden rule
All things pretty.
Time will rust away and make decay
Of this city.
How did we become disarmed by the world’s charm?
I must confess we’ve settled for something less
Why’d we blur the lines, defined by the world’s eyes?
And failed to see that he is everything we need
Kings, empty oaths, prideful boasts,
So deceiving.
Fools, let it go. Don’t you know
The night is thieving?
How did we become disarmed by the world’s charm?
I must confess we’ve settled for something less
Why’d we blur the lines, defined by the world’s eyes?
And failed to see that he is everything we need
Take up all your treasure and toss it in the flames
All the sons and daughters, we’re the ones to blame (x2)
We’ve exchanged heaven (x4)
How did we become disarmed by the world’s charm?
I must confess we’ve settled for something less
Why’d we blur the lines, defined by the world’s eyes?
And failed to see that he is everything we need
