Cobra Con Lyrics

Derek Webb Cobra Con

you wanna rock with the cops on the front line
you wanna kick it with the people in the back
you strike a match and you throw back a cocktail
there’s got to be a better way

(chorus)
it is harder to stay
it is harder to wait
to out-love, to out-suffer them

i wanna dream up a world i wanna live in
i wanna spray it on a building downtown
i wanna protest with patience and a paycheck
‘cause there’s got to be a better way

(chorus)

don’t wanna wait
no drugs or sleep
i wanna hold your hand grenade

God bless these bombs
baptize this rope
lie with us in the bed we’ve made

(chorus)
