Sorry, My Son

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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
