Strong and Wrong Lyrics by Joni Mitchell

Shine

2007

[Verse 1]
Strong and wrong, you win
Only because that's the way it's always been
Men love war, that's what history's for
A mass-murder mystery, his story

[Verse 2]
Strong and wrong, you lose everything
Without the heart you need to hear a robin sing
Where have all the songbirds gone? Gone!
All I hear are crows in flight
Singing might is right, might is right

[Chorus]
The dawn of man comes slow
Thousands of years and here we are
Still worshiping our own egos

[Verse 3]
Strong and wrong, what is God's will?
Onward Christian soldiers, or thou shall not kill
Men love war, is that what God is for?
Just a rabbit's foot, just a lucky paw
For shock and awe, shock and awe

[Chorus]
The dawn of man comes slow
Thousands of years and here we are
Still worshiping our own egos

[Outro]
Strong and wrong
Strong and wrong
