One Reason
Tea Leaf Green Lyrics

At least we'll get a story from it.
Despite the potential negative outcome of our actions, we will have a story to tell in the end.

Let's go find a nice place to sit.
We should find a comfortable place to sit and discuss what we are about to do.

Where we can spit in the wind;
Let's find a place where we are free to express ourselves without fear of judgment or consequence.

Confess all our sins,
We should be open and honest with each other about our faults and mistakes.

Before we turn ourselves in.
We need to face the consequences of our actions and take responsibility for our mistakes.

We must be out of our wits,
We are likely not thinking rationally or logically about what we are about to do.

Like a temptress in love.
Our actions are driven by passion or desire, similar to the way someone in love might behave.

We're going to pull down the bridge,
We are going to destroy something important or significant for our own satisfaction or curiosity.

Just to watch it come tumbling down.
We take enjoyment in the destruction of something, even if it has negative consequences for others.

Just give me one reason.
Can you provide me with a compelling argument or motive for our potentially harmful actions?

Just give me one - check it, get it now.
I need a good reason immediately, so make a strong case for what we are about to do.

Check it, get it, oh I'll take you all down.
If your reason is not convincing enough, I am still willing to go through with our plans even if it means negative consequences for everyone involved.

Confess to doctors not priests,
We should seek help from medical professionals instead of religious figureheads when dealing with personal issues.

Who you gonna trust or believe?
It can be difficult to determine who to trust or believe when seeking guidance or advice.

Leave the priests to the recently deceased,
Religious figures may be better suited to helping those who have passed on instead of the living.

And let the rest of us get on with our lives.
We need to move past our problems and continue living our lives, without relying solely on religion for guidance.

We could get that bullet out. There's a man I've been hearing about.
There is someone who can potentially help us with our problem, and we should seek their assistance.

And for a nominal fee, he'll do anything anything we need.
The person who can help us is willing to do whatever is necessary, but it will come at a cost.

Before we go there my friend.
Before we take action, we need to consider all options and their potential consequences.

Tell me where you stashed it,
We need to be honest with each other about any information or resources we may have hidden away.

Before the life leaks out of that hole in your breast...
We need to act quickly before time runs out and we lose our chance to fix the problem.

There's a hole in your breast...
This line serves both as a reminder of the urgency of the situation and as a metaphor for the problems and issues we need to fix.
