When all the heroes of the world stand up to fight It never makes a difference They may as well accept their destiny in life No-one will come to their defence And how much suffering could justify these words? There would terror in our houses if no other voice was heard I've been guilty of despairing of the world Mea Culpa, I won't say another word Somebody shut me up 'cause here it comes again This time I promise to take care Cut out my tongue cause it's more trouble that it's worth But I can feel it, it's still there Though it's true, many others disagree There is more to life than this At least it feels that way to me I think I've done all that I could But they're still baying for my blood I know that it could never make a difference Mea Culpa, I won't say another word Though it seems contrived and a pitiful defence But it'll taken down and it'll be used in evidence I go on for you, for me, for years
