The Winning Side - The Airborne Toxic Event[00:00:00]

Written by：Mikel Jollett[00:00:02]

Well I admit some mistakes[00:00:14]

At least privately in takes[00:00:16]

And here's another one[00:00:17]

And I'd say it would be okay[00:00:21]

But that's a lie man I mean hey[00:00:22]

We're all dying young[00:00:24]

It's not a wish although it seems[00:00:27]

More like a terrifying dream I'm serious[00:00:29]

It's either a whiskey or a bong[00:00:33]

Or a car crash or a bomb I'm serious[00:00:35]

It's the only thing I think[00:00:40]

When I wake up in my bed[00:00:43]

And my stomach churns as these pages turn[00:00:46]

Is the world burning or is it only in my head[00:00:49]

On a screen on a tv[00:00:56]

On a scene in front of me[00:00:57]

With all the white noise and the static[00:00:59]

And the static and the screams[00:01:01]

This is war this is death[00:01:03]

This has really been a bet[00:01:04]

On the winning side the winning side[00:01:05]

The winning side the winning side[00:01:07]

And I'm sitting on the train[00:01:22]

Over Brooklyn in the rain all by myself[00:01:23]

When the thought occurs to me[00:01:28]

That all these people wanna be[00:01:30]

Just somewhere else[00:01:31]

Like every day is just a loss spent[00:01:34]

Arguing with your boss over a coffee break[00:01:36]

Well the same is true for me[00:01:41]

I mean one more indignity and I'm going to break[00:01:42]

Because the only thing I think[00:01:47]

When he walks out on the screen[00:01:50]

He says the sky falls and the duty calls man[00:01:53]

And it takes some balls[00:01:57]

To be so obscene on a screen on a tv[00:01:59]

On a scene in front of me[00:02:05]

With all the white noise and the static[00:02:06]

And the static and the screams[00:02:08]

This is war this is death[00:02:10]

This has really been a bet[00:02:11]

On the winning side the winning side[00:02:13]

The winning side the winning side[00:02:15]

The right side the right side[00:02:16]

Well they shipped you off[00:02:19]

And your parents cried and it all falls away so quietly[00:02:21]

When you wake up to reality[00:02:26]

Reality what's reality[00:02:29]

What's reality what's reality[00:02:32]

It's a f**kin' play[00:02:35]

Well I've got a brother in Iraq[00:03:03]

I've got no way to get him back[00:03:05]

Like those people in the sands[00:03:06]

Buried in Afghanistan[00:03:08]

I've got a child in a crib[00:03:10]

I've got a father in a bib[00:03:11]

I've got no pills I've got no skills[00:03:13]

I got no idea what I did[00:03:15]

I just wonder every second[00:03:16]

Every minute that passes by[00:03:18]

Are we living up we're dreaming up[00:03:20]

Are we winning where we die[00:03:21]

In a cloud of dust a mushroom burst[00:03:23]

And a series of degradations first[00:03:26]

All alone in a hospital bed[00:03:29]

Wondering we might have done instead[00:03:33]

With a lifetime a lifetime[00:03:38]

A lifetime a lifetime[00:03:42]

A lifetime a lifetime[00:03:45]

A lifetime a lifetime[00:03:48]

A lifetime a lifetime[00:03:52]

Well we paid our dues and we did our time[00:03:55]

But please tell me exactly what was our crime[00:03:58]

Well I stand and stood by this fallen line[00:04:01]

While you decide who lives and dies[00:04:04]

I hope you choke on all your lies[00:04:08]
