about

When I was 22, for the first time dealing with being cheated on, a friend gave me a piece of truth that I've carried with me like talisman ever since:

"Everyone, I mean EVERYONE, is capable of betrayal."

lyrics

All people are bastards
They've got it inside themselves
To fuck you over if they can
If they can

If it's the only way
To get what they really need
Because you're keeping it from them
Just because, just because you can
Just because you can

All people are angels
They've got it inside them
To offer you help if they can
If they can

If it's the only way
To get you to love them
Because you're keeping it from them
Just because, just because you can
Just because you can

It might be your mother
It might be your child
It might be your brother
Not everyday, just once in a while

And it might be your lover
It might be your best friend
All people are bastards in the end
In the end

'Cause all people need love
To believe we're safe
From the circling wilderness
It's the only way
To convince ourselves
We won't fuck each other over
And over and over and over

Just because, just because we can
Just because we can
Just because we can
Just because we can
