Roses Given Songtext
von Harry Manx

Well the lines were drawn, forces gathered
All at the foot of our bed
Planned attack without retreats
Well battles were fought deep in our head
Spoke of war, rattled our swords
Brought out the great big guns
Halfway through a long campaign
We got tired of the bloody fun
Oh, Rosa′s given
Oh, oh, a truce was signed without a shot
Drank to our new deal
Felt so good about what we got
We ended up, oh Lord, half peeled
Silence rules my day
Give me some more of the same
Prize is not so much in the goal
No, no, no, it's the playing of the game
Yeah, Rosa′s given
Rosa's given, now, now, now Oh, oh, Rosa's given
Rosa′s given
Yeah, Rosa′s given
Well, well, sure we bark and sometimes bite
Never use our teeth
Ain't it lovely that the war is over
Now we can get us some goddamn relief
Days of struggle cast aside
Still I can get the shakes
′Til the next one learns to fly
I tell you I'm here with what it takes
Oh, Rosa′s given
Yeah, Rosa's given, now, no
Yeah, Rosa′s given, yeah, yeah, well
Oh, Rosa's given, now, now, now, now, now
Oh, Rosa's given
Oh, oh, Rosa′s given
Yeah, Rosa′s given
