'Intervention'

de Arcade Fire

« The king’s taken back the throne
The useless seed is sewn
Then they say they’re cuttin’ off the phone,
We’ll tell ‘um we’re not home

No place to hide
You’re fightin’ as a solider on their side
You’re still a soldier in your mind
But nothin’s on the line

Say it’s money that we need
As if there were only mouths to feed
And knowin’ no matter what you say
There’s some debts you’ll never pay

Workin’ for the church while you family dies
They take what they give you and they keep it inside
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home

Hear the soldier groan
All Quiet And Alone

I can taste the fear
Lift me up and take me outta here
Don’t wanna fight, don’t wanna die
Just wanna hear you cry

Who’s gonna throw the very first stone?
Oh, who’s gonna reset the bone?
Walkin’ with your head in a sling
Wanna hear the soldier sing

Workin’ for the church while my family dies
Your little baby sister’s gonna lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home

Hear the soldier groan
All Quiet And Alone

I can taste your fear
It’s gonna lift you up and take you outta hear
And the bone shall never heal
And I cannot make you kneel

We can’t find you now
But they’re gonna get their money back somehow
And when you finally disappear
We’ll just say you were never here

You’re workin’ for the church while your life falls apart
Been singin’ “Hallelujah” with the fear in your heart
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home

Hear the soldier groan
All Quiet And Alone

Hear the soldier groan
All Quiet And Alone »
