Nils Patrik Johansson - How the West Was Won

Текст песни

The boys were marching out to war
The women cried and that’s for sure
The brave man fight, the coward run
That’s how the west was won
That’s how the west was won
Tales and legends have been sung
Guts and glory, damage done
Out of this a new world came
But still we haven’t seen the end
My friend, I’ll return again
Yankee doodle dandy boys
Guess that no one had a choice
Kill or die, don’t ever ask why
In God we trust, but my oh my
You have blood on your hands
But you could not back down
Times were different back then
The rules were kill or be killed
Side by side, do or die
The west was won and the strong did survive
Side by side, heavy cross
A white man’s tale
Revolution, retribution
What is right in the history of mankind?
Is this how the west was won?
Today, well, nothing’s really changed
Trigger happy aliens
A greed crusade that never will fade
No dignity or common sense
Still there’s blood on your hands
But we need you as friend
Life is better today
But one day we all have to pay
Side by side, do or die
The west was won and the strong did survive
Side by side, heavy cross
A white man’s tale
Revolution, retribution
What is right in the history of mankind?
Is this how the west was won?
Yankee doodle dandy boys
I guess they did not have a choice
Kill or die, never ask why
In God we trust, but my oh my
You have blood on your hands
But you could not back down
Times were different back then
The rules were kill or be killed
The boys were marching out to war
The women cried and that’s for sure
The brave man fight, the coward run
That’s how the west was won
That’s how the west was won
Side by side, do or die
The west was won and the strong did survive
Side by side, heavy cross
A white man’s tale
Side by side, do or die
The west was won and the strong did survive
Side by side, heavy cross
A white man’s tale
Revolution, retribution
What is right in the history of mankind?
Is this how the west was won?
