Lyrics
When we comes to pride
And other sinful matters
You're gonna be misled
Left feared and tattered

I got to go because
Something's on my mind
And it wont get better
No matter how hard I try

Whoa, yeah
You just got to be
The best man for me

Evil hides in dark places
But now I find it
In familiar faces

I got to go because
Something's on my mind
And it wont get better
No matter how hard I try

Whoa, yeah
You just got to be
The best thing for me
