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.

@TeddehSpaghetti

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.
