Let's Win
Alexander Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

To the ladies of Vietnam,
Take my arm, and walk me in.
To the children of old Iran,
Take my hand, and walk me in.
Oh, Betsy
Let's win!

And I hear myself screamin' for the truth,

Everybody talkin' but I'm still confused.
In the dream I saw the kingdom we would lose.
And everybody singing love, sweet love.

To the women of Ghulu Choir,
Take me higher,
Oh fly me in.
To the children of Mao Zedong,
Take my arm,
And walk me in.
Oh, Betsy
Yeah, let's win!

Do you know the way, the things to say,
The way to win the game of life?
Ah, I should know better.
Do you have the time, the time is now,
To get your money house and wife.
Ah, I ain't no liar.

To the boys of Uganda,
Come home
And walk me in.
To the children of no one knows,
Take my arm
And walk me in.

Oh, Betsy
Yeah, let's win!

Seeing him live is the greatest experience anyone will ever have. He got down in the crowd and we all had a giant group hug. So amazing.

So glad I got to experience this, and the day after The Octopus Project's concert at Urban Lounge too! Just happened to be in town. The two chicks @1:06 holding the unicorn sign were there too, they're from MS and in a band called Sassafras. Tim will be free soon, finally.
