the killers
battle born
Lost faith in the human spirit You walk around like a ghost Your star spangled heart Took a train for the coast When you shine you're a hill top mansion So how'd ya lose the light? Was it blown by the wind? In the still of the night Up against the wall Up against the wall There's something dying on the street When they knock you down You're gonna get back on your feet (But you can't stop now) I always saw you as a kind of keeper Mother to a child But your boys have grown soft And your girls have gone wild From the blue ranch to the black hills To the redwood sky The season may pass But the dream doesn't die Now don't you drop the ball Up against the wall There's something dying on the street When they knock you down You're gonna get back on your feet (But you can't stop now) When they break your heart And when they called you soft In the morn remember what I said Boy you was Battle Born (But you can't stop now) You was Battle Born When the night falls on the land Are you haunted by the sound? It's gonna take more than a hand To turn this thing around But you need it underneath Rescue, set me free! Up against the wall Up against the wall There's something dying on the street Up against the wall When they knock you down You're gonna get back on your feet (But you can't stop now) Did they break your heart? And did they call you soft? In the morn remember what I said Boy you was battle born (But you can't stop now) Come on show your face Come on give us one more spark Sing a song of fire Unless you fall into the dark You never win You never lose You can never shine if you never prove The rising tide The undertow The venom and The overflow Turn away The open home
