Will Butler - Take My Side lyrics

Where's the fire? Let it burn Where're the children? Oh, children, you gotta learn I'll tell you why when I figure it out myself Oh, please don't cry; your crying, it ain't gonna help Where we going? Where you taking me? If you want it, you know you can set me free I'd tell you why but I'm having problems with my words If I could fly, you know I'd beat the sh** out of some birds I remember when we were pretty young Where we'd often run together to the setting of the sun Oh, we swore we're friends forever, so before you run and hide, just tell me: [Chorus:] Are you gonna take my side? Are you gonna take my side? Are you be on my side or their side? Are you gonna take my side? What's the difference if I'm wrong? Keep on acting, we'll never get along I'll tell you why but you'd probably figure it out yourself Oh, you're so wise, you best put that book back on the shelf I remember when we were pretty young Where we often stayed together to the rising of the sun Oh, we swore we're friends forever, so before you run and hide, just tell me: [Chorus:] I remember when we were pretty young Where we often sing together to the rising of the sun Oh, we swore we'd be together, so before you run and hide, just tell me: [Chorus:] Oh, you know that I would die If I couldn't [?], you're not on my side Tell your mother, take my side Tell your father too, take my side
