Lyrics
You Won
By Ted Horrell
Hasn’t been much movement in your camp of late
Even if there was I can’t retaliate
‘Cause I had my chance and now it’s gone
And I’m left with nothing but a swan song
I guess you know that you decimated me
There’s not much point in driving home the point
But why give the illusion that I negotiate from strength
When we both know that it’s not true
‘Cause you won
I’m waving the white flag
You won
It’s the only thing I have
Why not just cut me down, why am I still around?
‘Cause you won
I called my forces and we rallied
Wish we hadn’t done it in a valley
‘Cause it was all that I could muster
And you must feel a bit like Crazy Horse
Cause you won
I hit the Rubicon and crossed it
You won
My resources are exhausted
Why not just cut me down, why am I still around?
‘Cause you won
I did not try to demonstrate a show of force
I did not devise a withdrawal corredor
I left myself out in the open
Now that I know what the weapons are for
I’ll think twice before I declare war
