BRIGHT EYES
"One For You, One For Me"
(Conor Oberst)

One for the righteous
One for the ruling class
One for the tyrant
One for the slaughtered lamb
One for the struggle
One for the lasting peace

One for you, and one for me

One for the Fuhrer
One for his child bride
One for the wedding
One for the suicide
One for the bunker
One for the broadcast booth

One for me, now one for you

How did we get so far away from us?
How did we get so far away?

One for the people
One for the parliament
One for the weary
One for the malcontent
One for the master
One for the protege

One for you, and one for me

One for the bread lines
One for the billionaires
One for the missing
One for the barely there
One for the certain
One for the real confused

One for me, okay, now one for you

Now that we've come so far away from us
Now that we've come too far to say

You and me, you and me
That is an awful lie
You and me, you and me
That is an awful lie

It's I and I
It's I and I
It's I and I
It's I and I
