Sorry, My Son
Sorry, my son, we didn’t do better than this
We’ll leave the mess with you
What we could’ve fixed
We had the knowledge, we had the power
But a huge lack of will - to save this place
Sorry, my son, we failed to do what we should’ve done
We couldn’t do what was right
but we did a lot of wrong
We had directions, we knew the way
And a huge lack of will - to save this place
Chorus
Just don’t make the same mistakes that we made
You can read them in our tracks
Just don’t make the same mistakes that we made
You can never walk them back
Sorry, my son, we let greed lead the way
We thought we needed more
Until we had nothing to save
We had the riches, we had the privilege
And a huge lack of will - to save this place
