I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

We want to catch the bad guy.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

We want to be the hero.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

Wandering officers, wandering, wandering.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

You fit the description.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

Do we care who you are?

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

Can’t we use your skin as our defense?

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

You’re the bad guy, aren’t you?

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

If they had just done as instructed.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

But we thought they had a weapon.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

You’re not doing it the right way.

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

Why can’t you do it peacefully?

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.

But don’t all lives matter?

I shouldn’t have to be perfect to live.
