Both Ways Lyrics
Both Ways (两方面) - Kevin Devine
You can't be the bully
Then conveniently claim you're oppressed
Can't blow people's countries apart
And demand that they clean up the mess
You can't be the bully
Then conveniently claim you're oppressed
Can't blow people's countries apart
And demand that they clean up the mess
Can't be a bank baron oligarch
Then plead brother spare me a dime
You can't be a blood-addict vampire
And insist the real monster's outside
Unless of course you can
Because that's me yeah that's me
I want it both ways in the land of the free
Because that's me yeah that's me
I want it both ways in the land of the free
You can't preach all lives are equal
Unless they're immigrant women or black
You can't weaponize Jesus
And be shocked when the heathens shoot back
'Cause Christ was a radical
But not tin the direction you point him
If you dragged him to a megachurch
It's doubtful he'd see much worth anointing
Unless of course he's changed
More like me yeah like me
We have it both ways in the land of the free
More like me yeah like me
We have it both ways in the land of the free
Our destiny made manifest
Oblivion it's endless
Imagine our surprise when
We actually had to pick up the check
You and me
You and me
We'll get it both ways in the land of the free
You and me
You and me
We'll get it both ways in the land of the free
You and me
You and me
