Nomeansno Victory
~~~~~~~~ When I set out on this journey I thought it would never end When I started down that road I could not see the end And when I took that first step I fell in so deep And all those things that were so hard-won I thought I would always keep Now what do you think I see Standing like a wall in front of me Defeat, not victory Defeat, not victory Defeat, not victory Chorus: So what are you going to do? Die? No You gonna lay down and die? No I will not admit defeat I will not admit defeat I will see victory Pride and deceit Have choked my life like weeds And I lost sight of what I really had What I really need And all the things I should've valued I gave away for a prayer and a song And now when I reach out for them They are gone Now you know what I see Standing in front of me Like a headstone A f..cking monument to human misery Defeat, not victory Defeat, not victory Defeat, not victory Chorus Do I have any friends here? I can't see Are any of my friends here? I can't see What about you? Will you be a friend to me? What about you? Will you be a friend to me? I've got a question to ask you And then you can ask it of me It's a simple request And then you can make it of me Can you forgive me? Can you see what will be? Is it victory? Now I can't show you all the things I've seen And I can't make you feel anything Certainly not what they meant to me And someday I know, no matter how hard we try We are all going to have to lay down and die So maybe I should just tell you What I hope and believe For every defeat there will be a victory For every defeat there will be a victory In defeat, victory
