Lyrics
I see the red flash in your eyes
And I know I just crossed some line
And got us back to fighting again
And since we're both dead sure we're right
And there's no common ground in sight
Hey, let the finger pointing begin
I'm so tempted to make assumptions
And see you at your worst
To get my shots in first
But that ain't my ambition
Yeah, let's test those convictions
Just sit and listen without this suspicion
Don't want to put you in a strange position
And that instinct to conquer
Prove who is wronger, hold your breath for longer
No it don't make us stronger
How we know what our group's about
Is by defining people out
We self-assign by company we choose
But if we took some members of each tribe
And got 'em living side by side
You'd see they're flawed, but human as you
'Cause staying tucked in a little bubble
Where everyone agrees
Sounds pretty boring to me
And that ain't my ambition
I got some crazy vision
Less competition, no blind opposition
I'm talking tolerance without preconditions
We forget why we're in it
Just trying to win it, figure how to spin it
Take a breath for a minute
Can't promise to understand you
Or see things eye to eye
Least I'm committed to try
Yeah, let's take my ambition
And let's rewrite the mission
No pointless friction, no forced submission
Words for conversation, not just ammunition
Lately our trust is shaken
Good faith forsaken, past the point of breaking
But that ain't my ambition
No that ain't my ambition
