Victory

A man in a hat

Paused for the camera

And raised his hand for all to see

And with two fingers up

He then spread them apart

He said give us a sign victory

And I walked down the stairs

Meeting the eyes

Of a woman who is not for me

But she's calm and she's sweet

And she's struck and imposing

Her name is pronounced victory

And her wings have been tied on with ribbons

And the torch that she carries is dark

But she sheds her disguise when she follows my eyes

And she uses my teeth for a spark

The question is are you

But some opportunist

A wolf caught befriending the sheep

And I answer that I am

Confused and aloof

And yet arrogant for victory

She says all the good words are the old ones

And the short are preferred to the long

She says you should be weak and be good as of now

You're just evil and trying to be strong

But I don't make new mistakes

She thinks that I'm not awake

I should leave now

It's too late

Well I'm not really sure what we're doing this for

Is there something to see underneath?

And I want to believe I am mine for the many

And title this one victory

Well I don't know if I'm where I'm needed

If you need me please raise up your voice

I hate being alive if it's just to survive

I'd rather sing than be left making noise

(Alright)

A man in a hat

Swallowed his history

And begged with his old colonies

He said give us the guns

The grenades and the mortars

We won't stop before victory

No we won't stop before victory

And I won't stop before victory
