[00:00.040] Arcade Fire - Antichrist Television Blues
[00:15.000] Don't want to work in a building downtown
[00:18.010] No, I don't want to work in a building downtown
[00:21.000] I don't know what I'm going to do
[00:23.700] Because the planes keep crashing always two by two
[00:27.050] Don't want to work in a building downtown
[00:29.970] No, I don't want to see it when the planes hit the ground
[00:36.860] Don't want to work in a building downtown
[00:39.200] Don't want to work in a building downtown
[00:42.110] Parking the cars in the underground
[00:45.030] The voices when they scream, well, they make no sound
[00:48.270] Want to see the cities rust
[00:51.280] And the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus
[00:55.100] Dear God, I'm a good Christian man
[00:57.780] I'm your boy, I know you understand
[01:00.220] That you got to work hard and you got to get paid
[01:03.450] The girl's thirteen, but she don't act her age
[01:06.350] She can sing like a bird in cage
[01:09.330] Oh Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage
[01:13.730] You know that I'm a God-fearing man
[01:15.960] You know that I'm a God-fearing man
[01:18.430] I just got to know if it's part of your plan
[01:21.440] To see my darling stand by your right hand
[01:24.680] I know that you'll do what's right, Lord
[01:27.800] For they are the lanterns and you are the light
[01:37.960] Now I'm overcome
[01:43.560] By the light of day
[01:49.530] My lips are near
[01:51.660] But my heart is far away
[01:55.750] Tell me what to say
[02:01.740] I'll be your mouthpiece
[02:04.670] Into the light of a bridge that burns
[02:06.790] As I drive through the city with the money that I earn
[02:09.810] To the dark of a starless sky
[02:12.740] I won't stare into nothing and I'm asking you why
[02:16.610] Lord, let me make her a star
[02:18.860] So the world can see who you really are
[02:22.760] Little girl, you're old enough to understand
[02:25.010] You'll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land
[02:28.210] Men are going to come while you're fast asleep
[02:30.910] So you better just stay close and hold onto me
[02:34.110] If mama's mockingbird don't sing well,
[02:37.430] Then daddy won't buy her no diamond ring
[02:40.950] Dear God, would you send me a child?
[02:43.570] Oh God, would you send me a child?
[02:46.220] Because I want to put it up on the TV screen
[02:49.120] So the world can see what your true word means
[02:52.580] Lord, won't you send me a sign?
[02:55.250] Because I just got to know if I'm wasting my time
[03:05.110] Now I'm overcome
[03:11.410] By the light of day
[03:17.650] My lips are near
[03:19.250] But my heart is far away
[03:23.660] But now the war is won
[03:28.850] How come nothing tastes good?
[03:51.250] Oh you're such a sensitive child
[03:53.260] You know you're such a sensitive child
[03:56.440] I know you're tired, but it's all right
[03:59.150] I just needed you to sing for me tonight
[04:02.850] You're going to have your day in the sun
[04:05.600] You know God loves the sensitive ones
[04:09.100] Oh, my little bird in a cage
[04:11.880] Oh, my little bird in a cage
[04:14.370] I need you to get up for me up on that stage
[04:17.240] Show all the men that you're old for your age
[04:21.130] Now in the times of fear
[04:22.960] But if you don't take it, it'll disappear
[04:27.190] Oh, my little mockingbird, sing
[04:29.510] Oh, my little mockingbird, sing
[04:32.100] I need you to get up on the stage for me, honey
[04:35.400] Show the men it's not about the money
[04:38.670] Want to hold a mirror up to the world
[04:41.020] So that they can see themselves inside my little girl
[04:44.920] Do you know where I was at your age?
[04:47.470] Any idea where I was at your age?
[04:50.110] I was working downtown for the minimum wage!
[04:53.270] And I couldn't let you just throw it all away
[04:56.540] Throw me a kid, God, throw me a knife
[04:58.890] So tell me Lord, am I the Antichrist?
