The Walkmen - Victory Lyrics

My lord, where is the thank you
That someone promised to me?
My lord, where's the satisfaction
So uphill for me?

Oh, I'd be faithful
And I'd be serene
They say I lost my marbles
But they don't speak for me

Don't keep me quiet
Sing me whatever you like
Victory right beside me, yeah

We all get even
And we all get wise
Take what's good for me
I know what I fight

Victory right beside me
There's blood all over my hands
Victory should be mine

Oh I won't string you along now
Oh lord, where have you gone?
I won't call that the memory
Now, watch them roll off

Victory right beside me
There's so much blood all over my hands
Victory right beside me
There's blood, blood on my hands
