The Good Wins Out

The Good Wins Out

When I look out there in the world
It’s hard to believe in anything
Who took our sanity away, ¹
how low have we already gone

I see gamblers who helplessly miscalculate
and spend the money they’ve lent themselves, ²

which turns their lust into self-indulgences
and get off without having to take the responsibility ³

This world runs head-on against the wall
Tell me if you still really believe in it

that the good wins out, that the good wins out ⁴
that the good wins out, that the good wins out

A father who forgets himself too often, ⁵
who thinks that his fist means I love you

Priests preach to ease the misery
and then raise their hands against children ⁶
Leaders, who poison beliefs
to cause wars in the name of God

I see people too far to the right and too proud ⁷
of their country; of the black, red, and gold ⁸

You say you never give up hope,
but I say it is and remains a delusion ⁹

‘cause the good never wins out, ‘cause the good never wins out
‘cause the good never wins out, do you think the good wins out?

and that a hero comes and carries us through the fire
and routs out our enemies? ¹⁰
that the good wins out, that the good wins out
good wins out, the good wins out
