Lyrics

I don't know about many things
But I do know when I'm still
It's the long ride ride back from here/it's the law of averages?
And I don't think you can feel anything

When your back's up to the wall
We're here to help you through it all
You're between love and law
We're here to help you through it all
Help you through it all

When there's nothing to believe
Fed on mediocrity
And it's such an ugly scene
With no apology

And it's making your skin crawl
We're here to help you through it all
You're between love and law
We're here to help you through it all
Help you through it all
Help you through it all
We're here, help you through it all

We don't care what you're thinking
It's the cold, hard truth
We don't get blamed/made/payed for being honest
We get blamed/made/payed to want you
When you got something to say
When you got something to say
When you got something to say
We're here to blow it away
We're here to blow it away
When we got something to say
You know it's here to stay
You know it's here to stay

We're here to help you through it all
Help you through it all
Help you through it all
Help you through it all
When your back's up to the wall
You're about to take a fall
You're between love and law
And it's making your skin crawl
We're here to help you through it all
Help you through it all
Help you through it all
Help you through it all,
We're here to help you through it all

And then this is repeated but is not exactly the same, listen to the song, there are only a couple
of changes.
