lyrics

Victory

By Cade Siemers


Have you bore witness to your television
Seen the drones still dropping bombs
Heard the politicians vision
As those fights keep droning on

In a good many ways these days seem so strange
That it cuts against the grain
Every aim to insist
Every strike of the fist
Seems a’ fightin’ ‘gainst the rain
Feels so many times there’s so much on the line
It’s imperative to win

Victory’s just the clearing of the battlefield
So another can begin

Will we see an end to violence
And stop pickin’ at our wounds
Or remain mired in ignorance
And keep on barking at the moon

In a good many ways each turn of the page
Is only advocating for a righteous rage
Fight for the poor
Fight for the right
Fight the thing that scares ya
so you’ll sleep well tonight
Full up with fear tis hard to see clear
So you’ll do all it takes to win

Victory’s just the clearing of a battlefield
So another can begin

(Instrumental)

And our congressmen fight for others
The bankers for increase
While our armies fight their brothers
In a bid to foster peace

Go on, fight the brave fight
yeah, sacrifice your sons
Battle all the sons-a-bitches tryin’ to
Take ‘way your guns
Keep diggin’ that hole down the potters ground
For the dead can’t suffer
Yeah, the dead make no sound
Covered in mud and the warmth of their blood
You showed what it takes to win

Victory’s just the clearing of a battlefield
So another can begin

(Interlude)

How ya doin’ with your relationships
Are there keepers keepin’ score
Is your love a sign of innocence
Or the pretext for a war

Must our talk of peace
That bears such grace
Translate into a harsh and boisterous act of disgrace

We’re cutting our throats
in the depths of space
Will our Lunar-Lander ever reach ‘Tranquillity Base’

Though compassion calls
We’re in up to our balls
Too deafened by the din

Victory’s just the clearing of a battlefield
So another can begin

Of course victory feels fine
but we only got so much time
To celebrate our bloody win

Before our sh*t gets cleared off the battlefield
So another can begin

Praise God we cleared the battlefield
Watch it all begin again
