The End of You — текст песни (Sleater Kinney)

Build for me your tightest ship

Make the oars run swift and fast.

Send me out your strongest crew

Make their hearts and minds steadfast.

Bless me with athene

Theres no meaner, shes the best.

For when we hit the roughest seas

Well need all we can get.



You say "sink or swim", what a cruel cruel phrase

Id rather fly, dont want to get caught in this endless race.



The first beast that will appear

Will entice us with money and fame.

If you listen long enough

Youll forget theres anything else.

Tie me to the mast

Of this ship and of this band.

Tie me to the greater things

The people that I love.



You can walk the plank, do the dead mans float

Never let them see, your heart is pounding full of hope.



Let the last storm hit us

Let it strike at the hardest part.

Turn us all to mutiny

Turn this boat upside down.

I am not the captain

I am just another fan.

Sailing off the edge of truth

Into the end of you.



Eye of the storm, what a cruel myth

Theres no bigger spotlight than show

On the ones brave enough to live.
