Stand Down Songtext
von Art Brut

I thought my resolve
Was too hard to be broken
It′s easy to pretend
That you were just joking
There's no need to see plans
Through to fruition
Especially if
You′ve guessed the conclusion

Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti


I've the right to advise, advice for the wise
There's no shame in
Giving in
I′m delighted to have found
If it′s too heavy
You can just put it down
The bravest decision
You ever make
Is admitting that
You made a mistake

Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
I've the right to advise, advice for the wise
There′s no shame in
Giving in

Stand down
Stand down

It's not a lack of determination
It′s more heroic resignation

Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
I've the right to advise, advice if you′re wise
There's no shame in
Giving up
