They Got Away Songtext
von Built to Spill

They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away

They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away

And then they say:
"We would never harm no one
Intelligence we received was wrong"
Only a fool takes power at its worth

They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away


They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away

And then they say:
"We would never harm no one
We would only strategically bomb"
All of humanity hangs by a thread

They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away

They got the things that they wanted
Forgot the things that they say
They got the things that they came for
And they got away

And then they say:
"We would never appease no one
We negotiate with guns"
Jesus would hate what they′ve done with this world
