Good Excuse

from Last One Standing by Ashley Riley

lyrics

We've all got such a good excuse
We're weapons of mass destruction
Bound and determined to shred up
Each others hearts and minds
Oh tell me where I can find
I need a quiet place to hide

The streets are littered with magazines
Covers cover what we don't want to see
Stare blankly at our T.V. screens
Watch em edit reality
Fall as quickly and as quiet as a snowflake
Can't feel the weight until the branch breaks
Look around and curse the mess that we've all made
OH- well who's gonna pay

We're weapons of mass destruction
We're bound and determined to shred up
Each others hearts and minds
Oh just tell me where I can find
I need a quiet place to hide

Move as targets unaware of the direct aim
Placed upon by the giants in this cruel game
They send their signals through the air so silently
Before ya know it our morals are extinct
There's a cost to living in a free world
Watch a dollar split in half as the costs soar

We're weapons of mass destruction
We're bound and determined to shred up
Each others hearts and minds
Oh just tell me where I can find
I need a quiet place to hide

Do we only know desperate times
When tragedy pokes us in our eyes
And do we know what we're standing for
And aren't these the moments we've been fighting for

Oh with our weapons of mass destruction
We're bound and determined to shred up
Each others hearts and minds
Oh just tell me where I can find
I need a quiet place to hide

We've all got such a good excuse
