The Mountain Goats
Hostages
[Verse 1]
There may come a day someday
When we all look back and laugh
But there's lots of noise in the breakroom
Nasty points on the graph
[Verse 2]
And they're breaking into the broadcast now
Special update from Action News
Some of what you'll hear in the footage that follows
May not reflect our station's views
[Chorus]
We may run out of bullets
We're never going to run out of hostages
[Verse 3]
There's disagreements on procedure
Vocal, bitter divisions
As is often the case in situations likе this one
I'll be the onе who makes the final decision
[Verse 4]
Some of you have been here before
Most of you have not
Some will dwell on the details in the future
Or work to keep it out of your thoughts
[Chorus]
We may run out of bullets
We're never going to run out of hostages
[Bridge]
If there's one thing I love
It's an infinite resource
If there's one thing worth loving
It's a surplus of supplies
[Verse 5]
There's a team up on the rooftop
Good luck to the team
When you know you'll never make it out alive
You kind of get to live out your dream
[Verse 6]
Helicopters in the distance
Music of the spheres on the wind
It's gonna be a rough ride from here down to the exit
Some might look back and laugh at the end
[Chorus]
We may run out of bullets
We're never going to run out of hostages
