Battle Born - The Killers

You 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 you lose the light?

Was it blown by the wind in the still of the night?

You’re 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

(Cause you can’t stop now)

I always saw you as a kind of keeper

A mother to a child

But your boys have grown soft

And your girls have gone wild

From the blue ridge to the black hills

To the redwood sky

The season may pass But the dream doesn’t die

Now that you dropped the ball

You’re up against the wall

There’s something dying on the street

When they knock you down

You’re gonna get back on your feet

(Cause you can’t stop now)

When they break your heart

And when they cause your soul to mourn

Remember what I said, «Boy, you was Battle Born»

(Cause 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

Do you need a little relief, rescue?

Set me free

Up against the wall

(Up against the wall)

There’s something dying on the street

When they knock you down

(Up against the wall)

You’re gonna get back on your feet

(Cause you can’t stop now)

Did they break your heart

(Did they break your heart)

Did they cause your soul to mourn

Remember what I said, «Boy, you was Battle Born»

(Cause you can’t stop now)

Come on, show your face

Come on, give us one more spark

Sing a song of fire Let’s then fall into the dark

(Cause you can’t stop now)

You never live

If you never learn

You never shine

If you never burn

The rising tide

The undertow

The filling in The overflow

Turn away
