I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen
I can't help but look thinking that everyone doesn't get it
To my left is a window, where did I go

My reflection just planted two rows of coal
And bad ideas, ideas none the less, and so


I'll put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die


I'll put one foot in front of the other one
I don't need a new love, or a new life

Just a better place to die

Happiness stumbled upon a chapel last night

And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside
I've got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live
What you calling a sin, isn't up to them

Afterall, afterall 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, our forefathers are nothing but dust now

I'll put one foot in front of the other one

I don't need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die


I'll put one foot in front of the other one
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
Lucky that my father's still alive

He's been fighting all his life
And if this is all I've ever known
May son live on forever

In my song

I'll put one foot in front of the other one

I don't need a new love, or a new life
Just a better place to die


I'll put one foot in front of the other one
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
