Arcade Fire:Intervention
From LyricWiki
This song is performed by Arcade Fire and appears on the album Neon Bible (2007).
The king's taken back the throne.
The useless seed is sown.
And when they say they're cutting off the phone,
I tell them you're not home.
With no place to hide,
you're fighting as a soldier on their side.
You're still a soldier in your mind,
though nothing's on the line.
You say it's money that we need,
as if we're only mouths to feed.
I know no matter what you say,
there's some debts you'll never pay.
Working for the church while your family dies.
You take what they give you and then keep it inside.
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home.
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
I can taste the fear.
Lift me up and take me out of here.
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna die,
just wanna hear you cry.
Who's gonna throw the very first stone?
Oh, who's gonna re-set the bone?
Walking with your head in a sling,
wanna hear the soldier sing:
"Working for the Church while my family dies."
Your 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 go at it alone."
I can taste your fear,
(taste your fear)
it's gonna lift you up and take you out of here;
(take you out of here)
and the bone shall never heal,
I care not if you kneel.
We can't find you now,
(can't find you now)
but they're gonna get their money back somehow.
(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.
(Your life, it falls apart.)
Been singing hallelujah with the fear in your heart.
(The fear is in your heart.)
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home.
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
The useless seed is sown.
And when they say they're cutting off the phone,
I tell them you're not home.
With no place to hide,
you're fighting as a soldier on their side.
You're still a soldier in your mind,
though nothing's on the line.
You say it's money that we need,
as if we're only mouths to feed.
I know no matter what you say,
there's some debts you'll never pay.
Working for the church while your family dies.
You take what they give you and then keep it inside.
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home.
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
I can taste the fear.
Lift me up and take me out of here.
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna die,
just wanna hear you cry.
Who's gonna throw the very first stone?
Oh, who's gonna re-set the bone?
Walking with your head in a sling,
wanna hear the soldier sing:
"Working for the Church while my family dies."
Your 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 go at it alone."
I can taste your fear,
(taste your fear)
it's gonna lift you up and take you out of here;
(take you out of here)
and the bone shall never heal,
I care not if you kneel.
We can't find you now,
(can't find you now)
but they're gonna get their money back somehow.
(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.
(Your life, it falls apart.)
Been singing hallelujah with the fear in your heart.
(The fear is in your heart.)
Every spark of friendship and love will die without a home.
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
Hear the soldier groan, "We'll go at it alone."
