lirik lagu the traveling show – dalton deschain & the traveling show
[verse 1]
and when the president said
we’d all be better off dead
i must admit i didn’t know yet just what he meant
but when the singer sang
we can rise up from our graves
well i’d have done just about anything at that point to get myself saved
[pre-chorus]
cuz during my life i’ve watched my heroes live and die
and their beliefs die long before them
so i took that as a sign, that no amount of good intentions can keep you alive
take solace, everybody dies
[verse 2]
step right up, here’s a ticket try your luck sir
don’t look down this view’s not for the weak-hearted
departed souls at every lectern
guide you, go on, everybody’s waiting to see
what you got, how you fall without a net there’s
none more self-preserving than the lot of us
since the day that our sinking city’s motto became
“fear in a handful of dust.”
[pre-chorus]
and by the end of this ride, you’ll watch your family live and die
but admit your love died long before them
don’t even bother to cry, your self-obsessiveness has made a bigger monster than i
stop thinking everybody lies
[chorus]
it’s time to decide
why you’re one of the few that gets to survive
otherwise, it’s your blood on the stage
you pray so loudly but they’re still not listening
it seems i see every night
ten thousand die before my eyes
and it gets televised to play for cheap laughs
but in a nation bereft of any comedy
well what choice do we all have?
[bridge]
and things have changed you know
while all my past lives would have let you go
i stand before you a much wiser man
while three rings clamor to be rid of your hand
you see you should have been sincere
your petty irony’s of no use here
don’t think i don’t know he will fall
but til that comes at least i’ll outlive you all
[pre-chorus]
and during my life i’ve watched my heroes live and die
and their ideals die long before them
so i guess if this is my time, i’ll count myself among the few to throw away that design
take solace, everybody dies
[chorus]
it’s time to decide
why you’re one of the few that gets to survive
otherwise, it’s your blood on the stage
you pray so loudly but they’re still not listening
it seems i see every night
ten thousand die before my eyes
and it gets televised to play for cheap laughs
but in a nation bereft of any comedy…
or decency…
in a nation enamored with our tragedy
what choice do we all have?
