Can't Please Everyone (Hail Mary) Lyrics

I was sitting there in silence waiting for the pain to come

I was holding onto nothing a soldier holding on to a gun

Not a day goes by I don't question why, we let it all burn up in the sun

Just a couple of kids lost in the mist of trying to please everyone

But you can't please everyone,

We were a

Hail Mary from a backrow seat

Top of your lungs til your throat bleeds

It was ten years of nothing but gritting your teeth

And turning tires right down to the bones

We were old prize fighters thrown back in the ring

Back against the ropes only punching at the good things

Another pot of nothing at the end of the rainbow

If the papers ask it was all for rock n roll

I was medicated out of my mind I was up so high you'd think I could fly

There wasn't a damn thing I could get right

I was an echo in a canyon, with no one singing back yet

A kind of broken hallelujah, unexplained and bittersweet

Right where I needed to be

We were a

Hail Mary from a backrow seat

Top of your lungs til your throat bleeds

It was ten years of nothing but gritting your teeth

And turning tires right down to the bones

We were old prize fighters thrown back in the ring

Back against the ropes only punching at the good things

Another pot of nothing at the end of the rainbow

If the papers ask it was all for rockin

With our fingers in our ears

We'll be young for a thousand years

When the lights go out and it all burns down

We'll be standing bold and proud

Right where we need to be

No, you can't please everyone

We were a

Hail Mary from a backrow seat

Top of your lungs til your throat bleeds

It was ten years of nothing but gritting your teeth

And turning tires right down to the bones

We were old prize fighters thrown back in the ring

Back against the ropes only punching at the good things

Another pot of nothing at the end of the rainbow

If the papers ask it was all for rock n roll
