How Long Lyrics - Diamond Mine - Blue Rodeo

Forever lost in comparisons 

Between you and the better man 

Yeah you're always so quick 

To take a bow 

I've got to laugh at your circus sympathy 

And your postcard sincerity 

Don't you ever get tired 

Of being yourself 

It's getting so hard to find you 

As you fade into your world of reprisal 

As you slip into the comfort 

Of your denial 

Your patriotic smile 

Your go down in style 

And you say that you're not to blame 

Yeah you're proud of what you did 

And you'd do it again 

All in the name of God and country 

But that's too bad about the little snag 

Cause getting caught is such a drag 

Even in the name of God and country 

Still you're all the same to me 

You're just trying to make points on national TV 

Yeah you try to make points for God 

God and country 

You call this justice 

I call this self-service 

Solo 

And I hope that I never find 

What you call good conscience 

Or peace of mind 

As another man dies for God and country 

'Cause I'm sure while you're sitting there talking 

Well the bombs are falling 

All in the name 

All in the name 

All in the name of God and country
