Crying out apartheid on the south side
Raising up their weapons to the sky because the past lied
Picking up the anger of so many generations
Fighting for a nation that'll stick 'em in the station
Your good intentions
Weren't good enough
Your good intentions
Weren't good enough
With no one to run to, she's a woman in distress
Getting judged at the doctor's office 'cause a stranger got her in a mess
And before she can even leave their stares behind her
One decision, one incision kills the life inside her
Your good intentions
Weren't good enough
Your good intentions
Weren't good enough
Could it be that everyone of us is right
In the right person's eyes
You'll find them if you try
Could it be there's two sides to this coin
Well let's just hope the one you join
Is the one where everybody's going
Or maybe you'll be on the other side
Just fighting for your life
To do what you think is right
Well let's just hope the side you join
Is the one where everybody's going
The one where everybody's going
Well your good intentions aren't good enough
Your good intentions aren't good enough
Your good intentions aren't good enough
Your good intentions...
Raising up their weapons to the sky because the past lied
Picking up the anger of so many generations
Fighting for a nation that'll stick 'em in the station
Your good intentions
Weren't good enough
Your good intentions
Weren't good enough
With no one to run to, she's a woman in distress
Getting judged at the doctor's office 'cause a stranger got her in a mess
And before she can even leave their stares behind her
One decision, one incision kills the life inside her
Your good intentions
Weren't good enough
Your good intentions
Weren't good enough
Could it be that everyone of us is right
In the right person's eyes
You'll find them if you try
Could it be there's two sides to this coin
Well let's just hope the one you join
Is the one where everybody's going
Or maybe you'll be on the other side
Just fighting for your life
To do what you think is right
Well let's just hope the side you join
Is the one where everybody's going
The one where everybody's going
Well your good intentions aren't good enough
Your good intentions aren't good enough
Your good intentions aren't good enough
Your good intentions...
