英文热力歌曲:Kimbra - The Good War

 We fumbled² around

Pushing stones through the mesh³

We reap cause we sow

It's a song to the flesh

I had to dream in monochrome

A lie that they've spun⁴

I think I hear heaven calling me home

We're like poised⁵ from the sun

Two lives later I'll find

But everybody's coming round here

Raise arms I've got a hand to call mine

I'm still out to find my peace of mind

I'm running on a heartbeat I can feel it in my blood flow

Eyes up when they call me cause we're fighting in the good war

Set me off with a godspeed then I slam on the backdoor

You and I are gonna die free cause we're fighting in the good war

We fumble¹ around

We're pushing homes from the nest

We're too far to be found fighting in the good war

I had to speak in the protocol⁶

I was biting my tongue

Sometimes I hear hell calling me home

I know

It's such a lie that we've spun

I'm running on a heartbeat I can feel it in my blood flow

Eyes up when they call me cause we're fighting in the good war

Set me off with a godspeed then I slam on the backdoor

You and I are gonna die free cause we're fighting in the good war

I'm running on a heartbeat I can feel it in my blood flow

Eyes up when they call me cause we're fighting in the good war

Set me off with a godspeed then I slam on the backdoor

You and I are gonna die free cause we're fighting in the good war.
