I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen I can’t help but love thinking that everyone doesn’t get it To my left there’s a window Where did I go? My reflection just planted two rows of coal And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless, and so I put one foot in front of the other one, oh oh oh I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die I put one foot in front of the other one, oh oh oh I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night And I can’t help but back up when I think of what happens inside I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live What you're callin' a sin isn’t up to them After all, (after all) I thought we were all your children, But I will die for my own sins thanks a lot We’ll rise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all, So up off the ground up our forefathers are nothing but dust now I put one foot in front of the other one, oh oh oh I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die I put one foot in front of the other one, oh oh oh I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth I am over twenty-five and I can’t make a name for myself some nights I break down and cry I’m lucky that my father’s still alive he’s been fighting all his life And if this is all I’ve ever known then may his soul live on forever in my song I put one foot in front of the other one, oh oh oh I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die I put one foot in front of the other one, oh oh oh I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die In front of the other one In front of the other one Just a better place to die
