Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He imagines the world
As the angel ascending
Like the ghost of a man
Who is tied up to the chair
[Verse 2]
And he tries to believe
That his life has a meaning
With his hand on his heart
Pour le monde, pas por la guerre
[Verse 3]
And I wake up blind
Like my dreams were too bright
And I lost my regard
For the good things that I had
And the radio was sad
[Verse 4]
When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
Cuz the liars moved in
And they believe their own dark medicine
[Verse 5]
You act so nonchalant
But he is not a dog
Perform for you in the stadium
For the world, not for the war
[Verse 6]
And he won't hesitate
Though it might lead to heartache
In the night club Indigo
For the world, not for the war
Pour le monde, pas por la guerre
[Verse 7]
When you listen for good
In a hope that comes to nothing
Cuz the liars moved in
And they believe their own dark medicine
Believing it's good
Behind their jaded eyes a dilemma
[Verse 8]
He's the best you've ever had
He's so low you'll never know
He's the best you've ever known
He's so low you'll never know
[Verse 9]
Oh
He's so low you'll never know
He's the best
