How the West Was Won
Yeah
I woke up last night
In the living room
Left the tv on
Fell asleep to the news
I've become numb to the violence
I cannot hear no more crying or sirens or stories
About Paris and terrorists
Threats to the country where I live
Bunch of politicians steady lying on the tv still
Bunch of young motherfuckers fightin' with the police
And the police kill
Bunch of students gettin' killed in a airstrike
No one even care like
I wonder if they taught them that they'd never win a fair fight
Huh, how the west was won
How the west was won
How the west was, won
How the west was, won
Oh, when the lights go out
Maybe then we'll see
When the lights go out
Maybe that's what we need
When the lights go out
And the job gets done
Maybe that will be-be, (be, be) how the west was won
Had a drink last night
While the city burns
That I been to twice
But it didn't hurt
The images didn't seem real
Too far to feel the fear and the anger and hatred
And no one that I know got killed, I sat there and chilled
Too many pictures of people that died way too young
Too many bombings for me to keep up with
Remember when there was none
Too many dead for my tears
Too many lost for my love
Too many cries for my ears
How the west was won
How the west was won
How the west was, won
How the west was, won
I woke up last night
In the living room
Left the tv on
Fell asleep to the new-new-news
I've become numb to the violence
I cannot hear no more crying or sirens or stories
About Paris and terrorists
Threats to the country where I live
When the lights go out
Maybe then we'll see
When the lights go out
Maybe that's what we need
When the lights go out
And the job gets done
Maybe that will be-be, (be, be) how the west was won
I woke up last night
In the living room
Left the tv on
Fell asleep to the news
I've become numb to the violence
I cannot hear no more crying or sirens or stories
About Paris and terrorists
Threats to the country where I live
Bunch of politicians steady lying on the tv still
Bunch of young motherfuckers fightin' with the police
And the police kill
Bunch of students gettin' killed in a airstrike
No one even care like
I wonder if they taught them that they'd never win a fair fight
Huh, how the west was won
How the west was won
How the west was, won
How the west was, won
Oh, when the lights go out
Maybe then we'll see
When the lights go out
Maybe that's what we need
When the lights go out
