Karaoké Intervention Arcade Fire

The king's taken back the throne the useless seed is sown

When they say they're cutting off the phone

I tell them you're not home

No place to hide you were 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 were only mouths to feed

I know no matter what you say

There are some debts you'll never pay

Working for the church while your family dies

You take what they give you and you 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 want to fight don't want to die

Just want to hear you cry

Who's going to throw the very first stone?

Oh who's going to reset the bone?

Walking with your head in a sling want to hear the soldier sing

Working for the church while my family dies

Your little baby sister's going to 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 it's going to lift you up and take you out of here

And the bone shall never heal

I care not if you kneel

We can't find you now but they're 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

Been singing hallelujah with the fear 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
