Bloodless - Andrew Bird

Lyrics by：Andrew Bird

Composed by：Andrew Bird

They're profiting from your worry

Selling blanks down at the DMZ

Banking on the sound and fury

This is wonder what it's to do with me

Bloodless for now

I'm keeping mine with the altruists

Putting my weight behind the dancer

I know it's hard to be an optimist

When you trust least the ones who claim to have the answers

And it's an uncivil war

And it's an uncivil war

Bloodless for now

And the poets they explode like bombs

Bloodless for now

While the gentry is drinking Moet Chandon

Bloodless for now

Turn around and quote a well known psalm

Don't you worry 'bout the wicked

Don't you envy those who do wrong

And your innocence will be like the dawn

While the justice of your 'cause will shine like the noonday sun

The best have lost their convictions

While the worst keep

Sharpening their claws

Peddling in their dark fictions

While what's left of us we just hem and we haw

And it feels like 1936

In Catalonia oh Lord

Catalonia oh Lord

Bloodless for now

Bloodless for now

And the poets they explode like bombs

Bloodless for now

Is drinking Moet Chandon

Bloodless for now

Turn around and quote a well known psalm

Don't you worry 'bout the wicked

Don't you envy those who do wrong

And your innocence will be like the dawn

While the justice of your 'cause will shine like the noonday sun
