Crack the Case

[Verse 1] I will do your interview Try to explain what I'm goin' through Give you somethin' to read into In a million different ways A sick version of telephone Starts at the clip of the microphone A game we thought we had all outgrown But still everybody plays [Chorus 1] Ignoring all of the remedies Believing all of the rumors With their endless database I wanna sit with my enemies And say, "We should have done this sooner" While I look them in the face Maybe that would crack the case [Verse 2] I got a friend who's been thinkin' 'bout Finally kickin' her husband out His second life as a talent scout Finally got him caught While she was throwin' out all his clothes She heard a voice from beyond the throes "Punish him for the life he chose "But forgive the past that he did not!" [Chorus 2] It's really hard to hate anyone When you know what they've lived through Not once they've given you a taste She said, "This is for you to overcome "But I will always love you" In her perfect state of grace Maybe that would crack the case [Verse 3] Now that we're through with formalities What is it you wanna ask of me? I'll answer open and honestly Whatever that means Findin' out that we occupy Somebody else's opposin' side On the banks of some great divide Two versions of a dream [Chorus 3] Countless revisions of history Tryin' to tell us the future Between each commercial break I wanna call off the cavalry Declare no winners or losers And forgive our shared mistakes You can pick the time and place Maybe that would crack the case
