Not the One Who Goes
ZN Rock
Same room, every night, same argument, same crowd
Same man with the numbers, same man who's always loud
I could write the whole thing out before the thing begins
'Cause nobody's here to listen, they're just here to see who wins
I can't recite the treaties, I can't tell you what they claim
I leave it to the better men who know them all by name
I just want my people old and boring, safe in bed
Not running for a shelter with a rocket overhead
You're not fighting me, you're fighting what you think you know
You're swinging at a shadow from a hundred years ago
Same old blood, same libel, just a brand new set of clothes
I gave up on the winning
But I'm not the one who goes
No, I'm not the one who goes
I've watched the good ones quit it, watched them shut it down for good
And I don't blame a one of them, I'd leave it if I could
Take it off your timeline, get a night of decent sleep
But if we all log off at once, it's a room that they can keep
You're not fighting me, you're fighting what you think you know
You're swinging at a shadow from a hundred years ago
Same old blood, same libel, just a brand new set of clothes
I gave up on the winning
But I'm not the one who goes
No, I'm not the one who goes
I'm not gonna change a mind tonight
I stopped believing that I might
But there's a hundred in the room who never say a word
And they're only here to listen, and they're hearing what they heard
And they're the only reason that I'm here
They're the only reason that I'm here
You're not fighting me, you're fighting what you think you know
You're swinging at a shadow from a hundred years ago
Same old blood, same libel, just a brand new set of clothes
I'm never gonna win it
But I'm not the one who goes
No, I'm not the one who goes
Not the one who goes
(Same room, same night)
Not the one who goes
(Same room, same night)
I'm not the one who goes
