Shoulda Known Better lyrics

[Verse 1]

A baby girl without a home

Tragedy's reign left her alone

I guess I shoulda known better

But she's a citizen of the world

A right to life her cry's unheard

I guess I shoulda known better

Why why why why

[Chrous]

Part of the revolution

Ready for real solutions

We won't accept excuses

We tolerate no abuses

Cause I don't want my face to be

That poster child for being naive

Why why why why

I guess I shoulda known better

[Verse 2]

Headlines are real or just the news

Between the lines there's human truth

I guess I shoulda known better

Each day I'm faced with irony but

Just can't feel casual about casualties no

I guess I shoulda known better

I guess I shoulda known better

Why why why why

[Chorus]

Part of the revolution

Ready for real solutions

We won't accept excuses

We tolerate no abuses

Cause I don't want my face to be

That poster child for being naive

Why why why why

I guess I shoulda known better

[Bridge]

It's never the critic that counts

Cause critics only wanna talk

While enlightened minds and open hearts

Together make this world a better place

[Verse 3]

Awakening a better choice

It only starts if you lift your voice

And say I shoulda known better

And so next time I'll know better

Why why why why

[Chrous]

Part of the revolution

Ready for real solutions

We won't accept excuses

We tolerate no abuses

Cause I don't want my face to be

That poster child for being naive

Why why why why

I guess I shoulda known better

Why why why why

I guess I shoulda known better

[Verse 4]

I had this great epiphany

And rhythm nation was the dream

I guess next time I'll know better
