I had the best of intentions   When I got out of bed today   I set out to make things right   Make some of the pain go away      World peace seemed so out of reach   So I touched the people I knew   May not have stopped any wars   But I accomplished a thing or two      I fulfilled some promises   And I gave alms to the poor   I defended a helpless man   Just to even the score      Sometimes the best of intentions   Never gets anything done   I fall down on my face   Start again from square one      Even when things don't add up   And I can do nothing more   I think about the days I've won   When I evened the score      I fulfilled some promises   And I gave alms to the poor   I defended a helpless man   just to even the score      I made amends with an old lover   We tipped the wineglass once more   Better friends than enemies   Just to even the score      I only wanted not to lose anymore   And live to fight one day more      I had the best of intentions   But I think I mighta hurt someone   I'll have to move a mountain   To undo the damage I've done      I'll fulfill some promises   I'll give alms to the poor   I'll defend a helpless man   Just to even the score      I'll make amends with an old lover   We'll tip the wineglass once more   Better friends than enemies   Just to even the score      I'll spread the wealth from a to z   Rob the rich and give to the poor   If only things could be that way   I'd even the score
