Headstrong

Here come the waterworks again
I never was quite sure how to deal with them
There is no room in here for weakness
Nor the space to gasp for air
So hold on
Dry your eyes son now, you’re a man
Keep that mouth shut tight like I know you can
I’d rather shake your hand than ask you why your hands are shaking
So they say
Chin up, chin up
The stiffest lips will sink our ships now
Chin up, chin up
Be headstrong or be dead wrong
Dead wrong

White Flag

I've got a white flag in my hand tonight
And if I'm honest I've been feeling like
The way I spend my days has got to change
If I keep on like I'm going now
I'm going to end up six feet underground
And I've still got mistakes I've got to make
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for all the things I've got
I know a first world problem doesn't mean a lot
But on those days when thoughts are grey and heads are down
It's hard to lift your eyes and take a look around
So lay with me 'til the morning
And sing your songs to me
Will you lay with me 'til morning comes
And walk me to the sea?

Get Your Gun
03:23
|

Let's die our tongues with wine so we can talk a while
And nod at every lie
A good American should do as messiahs would
And toe the party line
This is our holiday in the sun
We can't be saving everyone
So hop on the good foot and read from the good book
And get your gun
The arms we're right to bear are what will get us where
We know we ought to be
Everyone has their ways but at the end of days
You'd best line up with me

The End of History

Francis called the end of history and then told everyone
But there's no end in sight by my watch
So it goes on
This line is a circle
Sharp minds become dull
We mature but stumble
All empires will crumble
So we go on
It's hard to defend the confidence of men
And there is no end to the stories we can tell ourselves
But blood is still blood
And stone is still stone
At the end of history, we end up alone
