A Moment Of Silence - Streetlight Manifesto[00:00:00]
Written by:Paul Simon[00:00:01]
A moment of silence please for those that never get the chance[00:00:26]
They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance[00:00:30]
The losers the liars the bastards the thieves[00:00:33]
The cynicists the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing[00:00:36]
I never met a loser that I didn't see eye to eye with I declare[00:00:51]
I stare into your eyes but you look right past me into the air[00:00:54]
What's it like to stand in your shoes[00:00:57]
To have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse[00:00:59]
I take the bottle and I tip it to all my heroes that have passed[00:01:03]
Alas you have left us but your stories they will last[00:01:06]
Uninspired by the recruiting call[00:01:09]
Independent we stand independent we fall[00:01:11]
So tell me how long do you think you can go[00:01:31]
Before you lose it all[00:01:35]
Before they call your bluff and watch you fall[00:01:37]
I don't know but I'd like to think I had control[00:01:39]
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul[00:01:42]
Sit tight but the revolution's years away[00:01:45]
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say[00:01:48]
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate[00:01:51]
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite[00:01:54]
Oh to have died that night I realized it wouldn't last[00:01:57]
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass[00:02:03]
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed[00:02:06]
Oh to the west you don't know what it is you're running from[00:02:09]
And everybody's laughing loud[00:02:16]
Your last chance to make your mother and your father proud[00:02:18]
A moment of silence please for those that never get the chance[00:02:47]
They show up to the party but they're never asked to dance[00:02:51]
The losers the liars the bastards the thieves[00:02:54]
The cynicists the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing[00:02:57]
They said â a pox upon your house upon your family[00:03:11]
And everyone you ever knew and everyone you'll ever meet[00:03:14]
I bet they think we wish we joined when we could[00:03:18]
But we do what we want we don't do what we should[00:03:21]
Now everybody's laughing because they're thinking[00:03:24]
They're in on something I don't get[00:03:25]
Don't forget I connect and I read every word you said[00:03:27]
Like a child who believes he was wronged[00:03:30]
If you hate me so much then stop singing my songs[00:03:33]
So tell me how long do you think you can go[00:03:53]
Before you lose it all[00:03:56]
Before they call your bluff and watch you fall[00:03:58]
I don't know but I'd like to think I had control[00:04:00]
At some point but I let it go and lost my soul[00:04:03]
Sit tight but the revolution's years away[00:04:06]
I'm losing faith and I'm running low on things to say[00:04:09]
So I guess I have no choice but to regurgitate[00:04:12]
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite[00:04:15]
Oh to have died that night I realized it wouldn't last[00:04:18]
Our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass[00:04:24]
The final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed[00:04:27]
Oh to the west you don't know what it is you're running from[00:04:30]
And everybody's laughing loud[00:04:37]
Let's just make the party ground[00:04:39]
