Win a Few

Win a Few
(Nico)

They will give you what you need
They will run your life
They will get you where they want to
On the cross you'll die
Oh, what a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame

When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons ?

The law has made it very clear
Save your breath for the next try
They will try you with fanatic threats
To make you sigh
Oh, what a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame

When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
Will they change the seasons ?

They want your face for a magazine
They want my voice for their fears
I want the world's news to be
A different truth in different ears
What a game a fair frame
Consumed into a single flame

When you're blind
When you're kind
The future and the reasons
They won't change the seasons
