Victory Gin Songtext
von Carl Barât and The Jackals

This is not a song for lovers
It′s for a feeling that exists in everyone
Sometimes this feeling is expression
Don't let them sing that they have got you on the run (?)

We all get the sunshine delivered through
Phone lines direct from a greater mind
Stare into the fires through optical wires
Brought into our heart from a greater mind

We are not afraid of anyone
I defy anyone to tell me I am wrong
We are not afraid of anyone
I defy anyone to tell me I am wrong

Look at everybody here
They might be dandies, rude boys, aristotles or Queers

But when all is said and done,
You can bet your bottom dollar
They′ll still dance with a gun


Shackled by wires, prank calls and liars
Only your flesh and blood is real by love

We are not afraid of anyone
I defy anyone to tell me I am wrong
We are not afraid of anyone
I defy anyone to tell me I am wrong

People in shadows arrive when the light goes
Putting the dark into your mind
Blue lights and sirens
With police behind them
It's getting hot,
This is the time for a revolution

We are not afraid of anyone
I defy anyone to tell me I am wrong
We are not afraid of anyone
I defy anyone to tell me I am wrong
We are not afraid of anyone
I defy anyone to tell me I am wrong
We are not afraid of anyone
I defy anyone to tell me I am wrong
