《The Winning Side》歌词

[00:00:00] The Winning Side - The Airborne Toxic Event

[00:00:02] Written by：Mikel Jollett

[00:00:14] Well I admit some mistakes

[00:00:16] At least privately in takes

[00:00:17] And here's another one

[00:00:21] And I'd say it would be okay

[00:00:22] But that's a lie man I mean hey

[00:00:24] We're all dying young

[00:00:27] It's not a wish although it seems

[00:00:29] More like a terrifying dream I'm serious

[00:00:33] It's either a whiskey or a bong

[00:00:35] Or a car crash or a bomb I'm serious

[00:00:40] It's the only thing I think

[00:00:43] When I wake up in my bed

[00:00:46] And my stomach churns as these pages turn

[00:00:49] Is the world burning or is it only in my head

[00:00:56] On a screen on a tv

[00:00:57] On a scene in front of me

[00:00:59] With all the white noise and the static

[00:01:01] And the static and the screams

[00:01:03] This is war this is death

[00:01:04] This has really been a bet

[00:01:05] On the winning side the winning side

[00:01:07] The winning side the winning side

[00:01:22] And I'm sitting on the train

[00:01:23] Over Brooklyn in the rain all by myself

[00:01:28] When the thought occurs to me

[00:01:30] That all these people wanna be

[00:01:31] Just somewhere else

[00:01:34] Like every day is just a loss spent

[00:01:36] Arguing with your boss over a coffee break

[00:01:41] Well the same is true for me

[00:01:42] I mean one more indignity and I'm going to break

[00:01:47] Because the only thing I think

[00:01:50] When he walks out on the screen

[00:01:53] He says the sky falls and the duty calls man

[00:01:57] And it takes some balls

[00:01:59] To be so obscene on a screen on a tv

[00:02:05] On a scene in front of me

[00:02:06] With all the white noise and the static

[00:02:08] And the static and the screams

[00:02:10] This is war this is death

[00:02:11] This has really been a bet

[00:02:13] On the winning side the winning side

[00:02:15] The winning side the winning side

[00:02:16] The right side the right side

[00:02:19] Well they shipped you off

[00:02:21] And your parents cried and it all falls away so quietly

[00:02:26] When you wake up to reality

[00:02:29] Reality what's reality

[00:02:32] What's reality what's reality

[00:02:35] It's a f**kin' play

[00:03:03] Well I've got a brother in Iraq

[00:03:05] I've got no way to get him back

[00:03:06] Like those people in the sands

[00:03:08] Buried in Afghanistan

[00:03:10] I've got a child in a crib

[00:03:11] I've got a father in a bib

[00:03:13] I've got no pills I've got no skills

[00:03:15] I got no idea what I did

[00:03:16] I just wonder every second

[00:03:18] Every minute that passes by

[00:03:20] Are we living up we're dreaming up

[00:03:21] Are we winning where we die

[00:03:23] In a cloud of dust a mushroom burst

[00:03:26] And a series of degradations first

[00:03:29] All alone in a hospital bed

[00:03:33] Wondering we might have done instead

[00:03:38] With a lifetime a lifetime

[00:03:42] A lifetime a lifetime

[00:03:45] A lifetime a lifetime

[00:03:48] A lifetime a lifetime

[00:03:52] A lifetime a lifetime

[00:03:55] Well we paid our dues and we did our time

[00:03:58] But please tell me exactly what was our crime

[00:04:01] Well I stand and stood by this fallen line

[00:04:04] While you decide who lives and dies

[00:04:08] I hope you choke on all your lies
