C
A man in a hat

Paused for the camera
Am                  G             C
And raised his hand for all to see

And with two fingers up

He then spread them apart
        Am         G          C
He said give us a sign victory

C Am G C

C
And I walked down the stairs

Meeting the eyes
     Am           G         C
Of a woman who is not for me

But she's calm and she's sweet

And she's struck and imposing
     Am        G       C
Her name is pronounced Victory
Am                      G             C
And her wings have been tied on with ribbons
Am                     G          C
And the torch that she carries is dark
Am                 G                 F          C
But she sheds her disguise when she follows my eyes
Am              G           C
And she uses my teeth for a spark

C Am G C

C
The question is are you

But some opportunist
  Am          G               C
A wolf caught befriending the sheep

And I answer that I am

Confused and aloof
        Am       G        C
And yet arrogant for victory
Am                    G              C
She says all the good words are the old ones
Am                G                 C
And the short are preferred to the long
Am                     G           F           C
She says you should be weak and be good as of now
            Am          G         C
You're just evil and trying to be strong
Em                        Am
But I don't make new mistakes
 Em                        Am
She thinks that I'm not awake
G                  F
I should leave now
             C
It's too late
C
Well I'm not really sure what we're doing this for
        Am             G         C
Is there something to see underneath?
C
And I want to believe I am mine for the many
 Am       G          C
And title this one victory
 Am                     G               C
Well I don't know if I'm where I'm needed
 Am                   G                  C
If you need me please raise up your voice
Am            G             F         C
I hate being alive if it's just to survive
 Am                     G                C
I'd rather sing than be left making noise
   Em Am
   Em Am G F C

(alright)

   C Am G C

C
A man in a hat

Swallowed his history
    Am              G          C
And begged with his old colonies

He said give us the guns

The grenades and the mortars
Am            G            C
We won't stop before victory
Am               G            C
No we won't stop before victory
 Am               G           C
And I won't stop before victory
