Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ The Arcade Fire - Intervention ------------------------------------------ The king?s taken back the thrown The useless seed is sewn Then they say they?re cutting off the phone We?ll tell them we?re not home No place to hide You?re fighting as a solider on their side You?re still a soldier in your minds But nothing?s on the line Say it?s money that we need As if there were only mouths to feed And knowing no matter what you say There?s some debts you?ll never pay Working for the church while your family dies They take what they give you and they keep it inside Every spark of friendship and love Will die without a home Hear the soldier groan Or go at it alone I can taste the fear Lift me up and take me out of here Don?t want to fight, don?t want to die Just want to hear you cry Who?s going to throw the very first stone? Oh, who?s going to reset the bone? Walking with your head in a sling Want to hear the soldier sing Working for the church while my family dies Your little baby sister?s going lose her mind Every spark of friendship and love Will die without a home Hear the soldier groan We?ll go at it alone I can taste you fear It?s going to lift you up and take you out of here And the bone shall never heal And I cannot make you kneel We can?t find you now But they?re going to get their money back somehow And when you finally disappear Will they say you were never here? You?re working for the church while your life falls apart Singing, ?Hallelujah,? with the fear in your heart Every spark of friendship and love Will die without a home Hear the soldier groan We?ll go at it alone Hear the soldier groan We?ll go at it alone
