You never change your mind once it's made up
|
Unless it's to crawl back on your knees
|
|
Is that the way you want it?
|
You get back to the wall
|
And put your hands up
|
It's a holdup
|
You give up like every time before
|
That is how you survived the war
|
|
You never multiply, all these divisions
|
You give yourself the least of parts
|
I put on my green felt hat, pack our privisions
|
Playing a merry Prince of Thieves
|
|
Is that the way you want it?
|
You get back to the wall
|
And put your hands up
|
It's a holdup
|
You give up like every time before
|
That is how you survived the war
|
|
You're not gonna lose this one
|
You don't have to cut and run
|
I think you can choose to love and what is more
|
That is how you survived the war
|
|
Now in a summer's day, spring a ripened plum
|
How will you live under the sun?
|
You follow the open road, remembering the guns
|
When you get lost under the trees
|
|
Is that the way you want it?
|
You get back to the wall
|
And put your hands up
|
It's a holdup
|
You give up like every time before
|
That is how you survived the war
|
That is how you survived the war
|
|
You never change your mind once it's made up
|
