You would argue with the water Argue with the sand and what it's for Stand where they meet With foam on your feet Try to deny the sea its own shore You are starry-eyed and cynical Angry as a catfish in a boat Every word is barbed Like rusted wire Or blank as a deer in the road Let me tell you what I think Let me tell you what I think You could reach it if you run You could find it if you look But you still don't care whose dignity you take I still call a crook, a crook You swear that your ship's not sinking Throwing tantrums like jetsam out to sea I see what's for sale And what's for certain Washing up to greet me You're etching your actions in the amber Hollow fossils to outlive us all So I will stack up my love Of what's right and what we're made of And wait for your hate to fall Let me tell you what I think Let me tell you what I think You could reach it if you run You could find it if you look But you still don't care whose dignity you take I still call a crook, a crook I will reach it because I run I will find it because I look I will not give up my freedom Like it's something that I took I will not give up my freedom Like it's something that I took
