Legends of the Recent Future Lyrics by Sam Himself

Power Ballads

2021

[Verse 1]
She said she could have been a contender
The kind that city streets are named for
So that curious kids and tourists would remember her
If no one's ever heard of her before
And the first round's on her
She knows you gotta be generous
When you find yourself drinking alone
[Chorus]
Way back then, she was a bullfighter in Spain before the war
Held her own inside the ring against the champions of the world
Never hurt a singlе soul, I'll wreck
[Verse 2]
She said she'd seen thе end of the movie
But she'd never give it away
And the next round's on her
She knows you got a leg up on everyone
Long as you keep one foot in the grave
[Chorus]
Way back then, she was a bank robber wanted by Interpol
When they busted Dillinger out of prison, guess who held the door
Never broke a single law
Late last night, she threw herself out of a thirteenth floor window
Left a note that said all she ever wanted was enough
She didn't break a single bone
I guess she fooled us all
[Outro]
She fooled us all
She fooled us all
She fooled us all
She fooled us all
