I've got an old friend who won't talk to me
She thinks I'm some kind of beast
She won't be on the some block with me
Though I used to be her priest
And it comes at a heavy cost to me
That my old friend has been lost to me
I am guilty of hot honesty
I let some heavy trips flow through my fingertips
It shouldn'ta gone down that way
It shouldn'ta gone down that way
It shouldn'ta gone down that way
It shouldn'ta gone down that way
It shouldn'ta gone down that way
It shouldn'ta gone down that way

Ah but hold on, there's a war on
And that changes things a bit
Bloody murder, gruesome torture
The worst crimes we can commit
And every day there was more and more of it
And I deplored it, I abhored it
And my old friend voted for it
And that's why I had to say
After election day
You shouldn'ta gone down that way 
You shouldn'ta gone down that way  
You shouldn'ta gone down that way 
You shouldn'ta gone down that way 
You shouldn'ta gone down that way 

All our lives we marched side by side heart to heart
Through every twist and turn
Who'd have thought that one shot from a terrorist's dart
Could make our hearts crash and burn

So the years flew, and she has rejected
Every olive branch I send
She is true to the objective
That this war should never end
And the hillsides have caught fire
And the waters keep on getting higher
And the same tribes still conspire
And I'm preaching to the choir
Cause we never will get back
Out of this cul de sac

We shouldn'ta gone down that way 
We shouldn'ta gone down that way 
We shouldn'ta gone down that way 
We shouldn'ta gone down that way
We shouldn'ta gone down that way  
We shouldn'ta gone down

Not that way...
