The Great Surrender Lyrics

You love fiction I can tell

It's in every word you spell

Giving up is hard to do

When there's nothing left to prove

How could a soul be so ashamed

Without an ounce of blame?

Your checks are always blank

Did you know when your boat sank?

You light your streets with cigarettes and

Pave the roads with your regrets

I fear you're near

A long december

You fight your wars with paper guns now

Ripped and burning in the sun I hear it clear

The great surrender

Can you remember who you were

Before all the lines were slurred?

Pluck a clover flip a dime

Will you still be here next time?

Our lights will be left on

Until all your illness gone

May they guide your lonely way

Through this dark night of a day

You light your streets with cigarettes and

Pave the roads with your regrets

I fear you're near

A long december

You fight your wars with paper guns now

Ripped and burning in the sun I hear it clear

The great surrender

Can't find a reason when excuses are all around

Can't find a reason when excuses are all around

Can't find a reason when excuses are all around

Can't find a reason when excuses are all around

You light your streets with cigarettes and

Pave the roads with your regrets

I fear you're near

A long december

You fight your wars with paper guns now

Ripped and burning in the sun I hear it clear

The great surrender
