歌曲歌詞
Well I admit some mistakes
At least privately in takes
And here's another one
And I'd say it would be okay
But that's a lie man I mean hey
We're all dying young
It's not a wish although it seems
More like a terrifying dream I'm serious
It's either a whiskey or a bong
Or a car crash or a bomb I'm serious
It's the only thing I think
When I wake up in my bed
And my stomach churns as these pages turn
Is the world burning or is it only in my head
On a screen on a tv
On a scene in front of me
With all the white noise and the static
And the static and the screams
This is war this is death
This has really been a bet
On the winning side the winning side
The winning side the winning side
And I'm sitting on the train
Over Brooklyn in the rain all by myself
When the thought occurs to me
That all these people wanna be
Just somewhere else
Like every day is just a loss spent
Arguing with your boss over a coffee break
Well the same is true for me
I mean one more indignity and I'm going to break
Because the only thing I think
When he walks out on the screen
He says the sky falls and the duty calls man
And it takes some balls
To be so obscene on a screen on a tv
On a scene in front of me
With all the white noise and the static
And the static and the screams
This is war this is death
This has really been a bet
On the winning side the winning side
The winning side the winning side
The right side the right side
Well they shipped you off
And your parents cried and it all falls away so quietly
When you wake up to reality
Reality what's reality
What's reality what's reality
It's a f**kin' play
Well I've got a brother in Iraq
I've got no way to get him back
Like those people in the sands
Buried in Afghanistan
I've got a child in a crib
I've got a father in a bib
I've got no pills I've got no skills
I got no idea what I did
I just wonder every second
Every minute that passes by
Are we living up we're dreaming up
Are we winning where we die
In a cloud of dust a mushroom burst
And a series of degradations first
All alone in a hospital bed
Wondering we might have done instead
With a lifetime a lifetime
A lifetime a lifetime
A lifetime a lifetime
A lifetime a lifetime
A lifetime a lifetime
Well we paid our dues and we did our time
But please tell me exactly what was our crime
Well I stand and stood by this fallen line
While you decide who lives and dies
I hope you choke on all your lies
