Arcade Fire - Intervention lyrics

The king's taken back the throne The useless seed was sown When they say they're cutting off the phone Then tell 'em you're not home No place to hide You'll find there's a soldier on their side You're still a soldier in your mind But nothing's on the line You say it's money that we need As if we're the only mouths to feed I know that no matter what you say There are some debts we never pay Working for the church while your family dies You take what they give you And you keep it inside Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone I can taste the fear Lift me up and take me out of here Don't want to fight, don't want to die Just want to hear you cry Who's gonna throw the very first stone Oh, who's gonna re set the bone Walking with your hand in a sling Wanna hear the soldier sing Working for the church while my family dies You're little baby sister's gonna lose her mind Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone I can taste your fear It's gonna lift you up and take you out of here If the bone shot never heals I cannot make him yield You can't find me now But they're gonna get their money back somehow And when you finally disappear We'll just say you were never here Been working for the church while your life falls apart They're singing hallelujah when defeating your heart Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone Hear the soldier groan we'll got it at alone
