Peyroux, Madeleine - No Meanness Lyrics

It's gonna take a lotta heart to stop the bleeding
Take off our rightful cloaks and drape the sand
Remember we're all feeble feeling
Despite our better judgment in the end

But we can choose
To make the rules
As history laments
And preaches

For every day that I'm a fool
There's a day that teaches

No meanness
No judgment
No envy
No fear
No shame

I wouldn't wanna leave the world without ya
Hearing all that you need to hear me say
You've got the truth inside to lead you
Never let 'em take your truth away, hey

We've all been around
Enough to learn
What we want
Is to understand

You can only give all you have
And live to try again

With no meanness
(No meanness)
No judgment
(No meanness, no envy, no fear)
No envy
No fear
No shame

No meanness
(No meanness)
No judgment
(No envy, no fear)
No greed
No fear
No shame
