Water Under the Bridge

Everything you do is a bittersweet thorn Sticks in your side from the day that you're born Guilt and acclaim are a double-edged sword A knife in my back is my knife in yours Somewhere there's a file cabinet of dirt and dust Somewhere, someone knows everything you've done You can dust off your record, you can try it again Water under the bridge is just piss in the wind You got to go around living with all that guilt on your chest With that burden on your back and those lies on your breath You got to smile to your neighbors, and heed your own sin Water under the bridge is just piss in the wind No one truly forgets and forgives For troubled waters there isn't any bridge That's not water you're swimming in Savage beast is full, full of resent With good aspirations, good will and intent It's every man for himself when good instincts kicks in Water under the bridge is just piss in the wind You can live a lie until your dead You can make it all work, you can hang your head You can't ever disguise the way you live Water under the bridge is just piss in the wind You pile it all up until it's a quote on your grave And even then, you get to pick what you say You can't ward off the blame with your good intent "Water under the bridge is just piss in the wind" No one truly forgets and forgives For troubled waters there isn't any bridge That's not water you're swimming in Ask God for forgiveness, and sing him this song You can write me a letter, and you can tell me I'm wrong I assure you, by God, this isn't sacrilege Water under the bridge is just piss in the wind
