Lyrics Men - The Dodos

Men

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)
