Flaming Lips

The Strange Design of Conscience

Given the hopeless nature of our times

And how it would change things

And given the circumstances of our lives

You'd have done the same thing

You'd have done the same thing

You'd have done the same thing

So if we're talking about forgiveness

Well, don't put me up above you

'Cause in the strange design of conscience

We are controlled by our desires

That can never be realized

That can never be realized

That can never be real

And given the hopeless nature of our times

And how it would change things

And given the circumstances of our lives

You'd have done the same thing

You'd have done the same thing

You'd have done the same thing

You'd have done the same thing

You'd have done the same

You'd have done the same

You'd have done the same
