[00:13.66]Flobots - Good Soldier
[00:14.91]Today, You don't have to be a soldier
[00:16.59]Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
[00:19.11]It's okay to be as you were
[00:22.67]Be as you were again.
[00:28.18]Is it a scheme? Is it a Vision?
[00:30.49]Is it a dream? Is it a nightmare?
[00:32.23]Or is it a competition?
[00:33.98]And if it is, what if we don't fight fair?
[00:37.05]What's bald in the morning but in the evening has white hairs?
[00:40.37]What's the cause of global warming and could it be
[00:43.93]these things right here?
[00:45.49]I've got an idea that might not reach anyone for another light year
[00:49.80]Got a hit list and a cloud of witnesses which is pricier
[00:53.92]My tears are mightier than my fears
[00:57.74]So mighty Earth provides me hurt that I keep buried
[01:00.74]until I convert it to writing
[01:02.80]I was wounded
[01:03.93]I was injured
[01:04.98]I was made to move to Denver
[01:07.79]I was taken through a new adventure
[01:10.18]Paint stripped from it's first fixture
[01:11.30]I was placed in another picture
[01:13.29]I was rushed to a new landscape
[01:16.12]And ripped away from family scraped into a politicians mistake
[01:20.11]And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans
[01:25.18]Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged
[01:28.29]A world of emotions
[01:30.24]A guess that it might be okay
[01:33.05]That it could be all right if expressed today
[01:38.30]Today, You don't have to be a soldier
[01:42.92]Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
[01:46.80]It's okay to be as you were
[01:50.73]Be as you were again.
[01:52.80]Am I a woman raised man-machine
[01:58.18]Damaging everything I touch by not caring enough
[02:02.29]Or too much
[02:03.93]Am I far flung fantasy
[02:06.55]Setting free enmity
[02:09.11]And making friends from enemies
[02:11.23]And bridges for the in-between's
[02:13.49]For the highwayman on a low road
[02:15.80]The tired back with a large load
[02:17.99]The trials spanned till I found hope
[02:20.23]And I found more
[02:21.61]When I slo mo'ed
[02:22.68]Enough of the back to face front
[02:24.67]Let those in the pack of the race run
[02:27.11]I'm needing an evener pace one too hasty
[02:29.05]Makes mistakes
[02:29.67]Can you carry a song
[02:34.17]As strong as your arms can bear
[02:36.11]That you keep from harm
[02:37.48]And it will be there
[02:38.73]When you go wrong
[02:44.23]Make a heart from your bond
[02:46.23]Your treasure is right here
[02:48.49]And what's left of talents in chests beneath oceans
[02:53.11]Welled up behind eyelids has yet to be salvaged
[02:58.04]A world of emotions
[02:59.30]A guess that it might be okay
[03:02.74]That it could be all right if expressed today
[03:05.99]Today, You don't have to be a soldier
[03:28.67]Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
[03:32.85]It's okay to be as you were
[03:36.11]Be as you were again.
[03:41.05]Today, You don't have to be a soldier
[03:45.93]Don't have to be a soldier, stand down
[03:48.68]It's okay to be as you were
[03:54.81]Be as you were again.
