Tom MacDonald - How The West Was Won lyrics

Yeah, yeah

I woke up last night in the living room
Left the TV on, fell asleep to the news
I've become numb to the violence
I cannot hear no more cryin'
Or sirens or stories 'bout Paris or terrorist
Threats to the country where I live
Buncha politicians steady lying on
The TV still
Buncha young mo'fuckers fightin' with the
Police and the police kill
Buncha students gettin' killed in
An air strike, no one even care like
I wonder if they taught 'em that
They'd never win a fair fight

Huh, how the west was won
How the west was won how the west was won
How the west was won

Oh, when the lights go out
Maybe then we'll see when the lights go out
Maybe that's what we need
When the lights go out and the job gets done
Maybe that will be-be, be
Be how the west was won

Had a drink last night while the city burned
That I been to twice, but it didn't hurt
The images didn't seem real
I'm too far to feel
The fear and the anger and hatred and
No one that I know got killed
I sat there and chilled
Too many pictures of people that
Died way too young
Too many bombings for me to keep up with
Remember when there was none
Too many dead for my tears
Too many lost for my love
Too many cry for my ears
How the west was won

How the west was won how the west was won
How the west was won how the west was won

I woke up last night in the living room
Left the TV on
Fell asleep to the new new news
I've become numb to the violence
I cannot hear no more cryin'
Or sirens or stories 'bout Paris or terrorist
Threats to the country where I live

When the lights go out, maybe then we'll see
When the lights go out
Maybe that's what we need
When the lights go out and the job gets done
Maybe that will be be be be
How the west was won
