Lyrics
Win a Few
Words and music: Nico
They will give you what you need
They will run your life
They will get you where they want to
On the cross you'll die
What a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame
When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons?
The law has made it very clear
Take a breath for the next try
They will try you with fanatic threats
To make you sigh
What a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame
When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons?
They want your face for a magazine
They want my voice for their tears
I want the world's news to be
A different truth in different ears
What a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame
When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons?
