Men - The Dodos

This is the sign, I use to wear

This is the line, it says I care

I found a reason, I found a tear

Last year

I am a boy, you want a man

I am indifferent, you want a plan

I’m getting out, I’m getting there

This year

We are in love, we are at war

I feed myself, you feed the poor

I write the fiction, you write the lore

These are addictions, I’ve seen before

And if I get out, I won’t be saved

You are my keeper, I am your slave

You’re in my thoughts, you’re in my way

Keep all the weakers, Bury the brave

(Yeah)

This is a game, we have our rules

I am the player, you have control

There is an ante, there is a toll

Buy in

I want a space, you want a home

You need to have it, you need to own

Let’s build a flower, let’s watch it grow

And die

We are in love, we are at war

I feed myself, you feed the poor

I write the fiction, you write the lore

These are addictions, I’ve seen before

And if I get out, I won’t be saved

You are my keeper, I am your slave

You’re in my thoughts, you’re in my way

Keep all the weakers, bury the brave

(Yeah)

(Yeah)
