Take My Side Lyrics by Will Butler

Policy

2014

[Verse 1]
Where's the fire? Let it burn!
Where're the children?
Oh, children, you gotta learn!
I'll tell you why, when I figure it out myself
Oh, please don't cry
Your crying, it ain't gonna help
[Verse 2]
Where we going? Where you taking me?
If you want it, you know you can set me free!
I'd tell you why
But I'm having problems with my words
If I could fly
You know I'd beat the shit out of some birds!
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when we were pretty young
Where we'd often run together to the setting of the sun
Oh, we swore we're friends forever
So before you run and hide, just tell me:
[Chorus]
Are you gonna take my side?
Are you gonna take my side?
Are you be on my side or their side?
Are you gonna take my side?
[Verse 3]
What's the difference if I'm wrong?
Keep on acting, we'll never get along!
I'd tell you why
But you probably figured it out yourself
Oh, you're so wise!
You best put that book back on the shelf
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when we were pretty young
Where we'd often stay together to the rising of the sun
Oh, we swore we were friends forever
So before you run and hide, just tell me:
[Chorus]
Are you gonna take my side?
Are you gonna take my side?
Are you be on my side or their side?
Are you gonna take my side?
[Pre-Chorus]
I remember when we were pretty young
Where we often sing together to the rising of the sun
Oh, we swore we'd be together
So before you run and hide, just tell me:
[Chorus]
Are you gonna take my side?
Are you gonna take my side?
Are you be on my side or their side?
Are you gonna take my side?
[Outro]
Oh, you know that I would die!
If I come and saw you not on my side
Tell your mother, take my side
Tell your father too, oh, take my side
