Текст Arcade Fire — Intervention

[Verse 1]
The king’s taken back the throne
The useless seed is sown
When they say they’re cutting off the phone
I tell them you’re not home
No place to hide
You were fighting as a soldier on their side
You’re still a soldier in your mind
Though nothing’s on the line
You say it’s money that we need
As if we were only mouths to feed
I know no matter what you say
There are some debts you’ll never pay

[Hook 1]
Working for the church
While your family dies
You take what they give you
And you keep it inside
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, «We’ll go at it alone»

[Verse 2]
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:
[Hook 2]
Working for the church
While my family dies
Your little baby sister’s
Going to lose her mind
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home
Hear the soldier groan, «We’ll go at it alone»

[Verse 3]
I can taste your fear
It’s going to lift you up and take you out of here
And the bone shall never heal
I care not if you kneel
We can’t find you now
But they’re gonna get their money back somehow
And when you finally disappear
We’ll just say you were never here

[Hook 3]
Been working for the church
While your life falls apart
Been 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»
