Beautiful Door Songtext
von Billy Bob Thornton

Maybe I′m crazy and maybe I'm blind
′Cause I can't understand the kind of mind
That kills for god or money or the land
It just seems odd to take that kind of stand

Some on the east side some on the west
Who think that somehow their way is best
But there are some there in the middle
Whose lives have come to mean so little


You can preach all you want to
And make up forever more
I know you want to walk into another world
But I don't see no beautiful door

I can′t help myself I like this place
And leaving′s not a thing I want to face
But those who want to go knock yourselves out
Just don't take those who don′t care about

Your power dreams and your golden gates
'Cause I hear their screams as you deal their fates
You′ll never kill this world but I am afraid
That you'll take away those you say god made


I know you want to walk into another world
But I don′t see no beautiful door
I know you want to talk about a better world
But you've closed that beautiful door
