Ted Leo and The Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak lyrics

I was walking along some downtown avenue I was whistling a new song to myself And it went, it went something like this one But I just couldn't make it end Well, I was talking about this song to this friend of mine And she sang me a new song of her own She said, she said the cards were still stacked against her But she said she could still go it alone And I saw for all of us, she spoke Won't you stand up for the hearts of oak? I was listening to this song by this friend of mine I was hearing what she said, I was feeling her rage She said no weak, no weak heart shall prosper She said, she said nothing's wrong and I belong on this stage And I saw for all of us, she spoke Won't you stand up for the hearts of oak? And I saw her stand, she couldn't be broken And I saw her show her heart of oak again and again and again and again If you think, if you think everything is cool Can't, can't you hear what the girl goes through? Can, can you tell em that it's not true? Can you find, can you find hearts of oak in you? When the night, it ends and you've awoken Won't you stand up with your heart of oak again? Like the girl withstands, she can't be broken Won't you stand up for the hearts of oak again and again and again and again? I was walking along some downtown avenue I was sharing the sidewalk with my friend We were singing a song together and it sounded so good We said, we said let's sing it again, and it had no end
