I Know It’s Mine
[Verse 1]
Lunar sort of landscape
Bombed-out and burning
Here's our reporter
Another tiny war
Ulster or Kampala
Detroit or Guatemala
Fifty-seven channels
But we've seen this one before
[Verse 2]
Everyone's a witness
We've all been in orbit
Earth was blue and silver
A big toy balloon
We're all a little older
The air's a little colder
Feels like forty lifetimes
Since we walked on the moon
[Chorus]
In my time we've drunk away a cеntury
In my time we've triеd to walk it honestly
Love and anger, got to let the spirit shine
In my time that's all I've got but I know it's mine
I know it's mine
I know it's mine
I know it's mine
[Verse 3]
We cut our teeth on passion
Impulse and mercy
We tell the truth to strangers
Lie to spare our friends
Stupidity and glory
Is everybody's story
Before you put the light out
Will you tell me how it ends?
[Chorus]
In my time we've drunk away a century
In my time we've tried to walk it honestly
Love and anger, got to let the spirit shine
In my time that's all I've got but I know it's mine
I know it's mine
I know it's mine
I know it's mine
[Bridge]
We followed an unlikely star
Never thought we'd get this far
Now we don't know where we are
But hey, we're hanging on
[Chorus]
In my time we've drunk away a century
In my time we've tried to walk it honestly
Love and anger, got to let the spirit shine
In my time that's all I've got
In my time we've drunk away a century
In my time we've tried to walk it honestly
Love and anger, got to let the spirit shine
In my time that's all I've got but I know it's mine
I know it's mine
I know it's mine
I know it's mine
