lyrics

I wish it weren't so hard
To see the forest for the bayonets
It's always a temptation
To trade the battle for the war

But you know that's not how it works
However much the other guy gets
He's gonna want more
He's gonna want more

Well there's never the time
We're down to the wire
Would you find a quiet harbor
Just 'cuz you're tired?
Would you walk away now
If you believed that you could get more?

Are you looking for your glasses
Or waiting for the shapes to coalesce?
With your eyes on the horizon
Uncertain which half is the floor

I sympathize, as much as I've tried
To make the budget balance with less
I always need more
We always need more

Well there's never the time
We're down to the wire
Would you find a quiet harbor
Just 'cuz you're tired?
Would you walk away now
If you believed that you could get more?

More candid, more sure
More than we thought we were
More bright, more kind, more pure
More than we thought we were
More than we thought we were

The system is rigged, it's not zero-sum
The dealer takes a cut of the bets
They're gonna want more
They always want more

Well there's never the time
We're down to the wire
Would you find a quiet harbor
Just 'cuz you're tired?
Would you walk away now
If you believed that you could get more?

I'll always have a reason, I'll make an excuse
You can't defeat the ocean, so what's the use?
I'll never walk away
As long as I believe I'll get more
