I've been traveling for so long
So lost till I stumbled upon
Two roads in front of me
I had to take my timeTo the right I could see a church
I took a step in that direction first
But to the left there was a watering hole
Where they were whiskey drunk
And now that's where I wanna be
The fight down here goes on and onIf I was perfect
Then this would be easy
Either road's plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center
With no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can seeThere's gotta be another way to go
A way that's much more feasible
A combination of both these lives
A central path without choosing a sideI make decisions one at a time
And though I never say I'm always right
I'm confident that when I stand on my own
You'll see the truest form of a man
When I'm shining through
The fight down here goes on and onIf I was perfect
Then this would be easy
Either road's plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center
With no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can seeOh, I hear them now
All the religious rhymes
(Anger I see)
(Anger I see)
(Anger I see now)The left isn't better
It's just more of the same
Condemning all these people
For what they believeI'll climb to the top of the mountain again
No one is going to see me this way
And the closer to the top I get
The more they take aim
But I'm not youI may not be perfect
But I've always been true
I may not be worthy in your eyes
Climbed up from the bottom
For the last time
The last one the last one
The last timeIf I was perfect
Then this would be easy
Either road's plausible
On both I could drown
I walk through the center
With no rules to guide me
I realize it's difficult
But now I can see
