Cobra Con Lyrics by Derek Webb

Stockholm Syndrome

2009

You wanna rock with the cops on the front line
You wanna kick it with the people in the back
You strike a match and you throw back a cocktail
There’s got to be a better way

It is harder to stay
It is harder to wait
To out-love, to out-suffer them

I wanna dream up a world i wanna live in
I wanna spray it on a building downtown
I wanna protest with patience and a paycheck
‘cause there’s got to be a better way

It is harder to stay
It is harder to wait
To out-love, to out-suffer them

Don’t wanna wait
No drugs or sleep
I wanna hold your hand grenade

God bless these bombs
Baptize this rope
Lie with us in the bed we’ve made

It is harder to stay
It is harder to wait
To out-love, to out-suffer them
