For as long as I can remember I just wanted to do what was right. I guess I'm not quite sure what that is anymore. And I thought I could throw myself back in and follow orders, serve. It's just not the same. I've been asleep for 70 years. I think I've had enough rest. I don't want to kill anyone. I don't like bullies; I don't care where they're from. You can't justify murder by masking it with a cause. Sometimes there isn't a way out. I know this neighborhood. I got beat up in that alley. And that parking lot. And behind that diner. I'm just a kid from Brooklyn. We run around, calling ourselves Avengers... yet, when this man comes before us with something to avenge -- a wrong that shrieks to heaven for vengeance -- we turn a deaf ear -- because his cause isn't world-shattering enough for us! We forget that the world can end with a whimper -- as well as with a bang! People are gonna die, Buck. I can't let that happen I don't measure people's lives... I save them. The price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not. I'm gonna need a rain check on that dance. I couldn't leave my best girl. Not when she owes me a dance. Soldiers trust each other. That's what make it an army. Not a bunch of guys running around shooting guns. There are men laying down their lives. I got no right to do any less than them. That's what you don't understand. This isn't about me Every time someone tries to stop a war before it starts, innocent people die. Every time. Then finish it. 'Cause I'm with you 'til the end of the line. I'm sick of watching people pay for our mistakes. The American ideal. It's a little tough to find these days, isn't it? Nick Fury: You know, I read those SSR files. "Greatest Generation"? You guys did some nasty stuff. Steve Rogers: Yeah, we compromised. Sometimes in ways that made us not sleep so well. But we did it so that people could be free. This isn't freedom. This is fear. Nick Fury: S.H.I.E.L.D. takes the world as it is, not as we'd like to be. And it's getting damn near past time for you get with that program, Cap. Steve Rogers: Don't hold your breath. |
"The War Was in Color" - Carbon Leaf |
I see you've found a box of my things - Infantries, tanks and smoldering airplane wings. These old pictures are cool. Tell me some stories Was it like the old war movies? Sit down son. Let me fill you in Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin From the flash of a gun to a soldier who's done Trust me grandson The war was in color From shipyard to sea, From factory to sky From rivet to rifle, from boot camp to battle cry I wore the mask up high on a daylight run That held my face in its clammy hand Crawled over coconut logs and corpses in the coral sand Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin From the shock of a shell or the memory of smell If red is for Hell The war was in color I held the canvas bag over the railing The dead released, with the ship still sailing, Out of our hands and into the swallowing sea I felt the crossfire stitching up soldiers Into a blanket of dead, and as the night grows colder In a window back home, a Blue Star is traded for Gold. Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo don't capture the skin When metal is churned. And bodies are burned Victory earned The War was in color Now I lay in my grave at age 21 Long before you were born Before I bore a son What good did it do? Well hopefully for you A world without war A life full of color Where to begin? Let's start with the end This black and white photo never captured my skin Once it was torn from an enemy thorn Straight through the core The war was in color |
"Things That Stop You Dreaming" - Passenger |
I’ve got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket Wont get to space cos I haven’t got a rocket But I’ve air in my lungs Eyes in my sockets And a heart that beats Like a tap that leaks In the night when you haven’t got a plumber who can stop it Jack in a box without a key to lock it Well this boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it Cos the sea doesn’t know my name Yeah the boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it Cos the sea doesn’t know my name Well if you can’t get what you love You learn to love the things you’ve got If you can’t be what you want You learn to be the things you’re not If you can’t get what you need You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming Well I’ve got no ones word and no bodies promise Not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets And my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest And my word is true Like the sky is blue In the summer time when everybody gets on it Warm our skins and get sunburnt from it And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains Yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains Well if you can’t get what you love You learn to love the things you’ve got If you can’t be what you want You learn to be the things you’re not If you can’t get what you need You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming Well if you can’t get what you love You learn to love the things you’ve got If you can’t be what you want You learn to be the things you’re not If you can’t get what you need You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming |
"All the Little Lights" - Passenger |
We’re born with millions of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way One lights up Every time we feel love in our hearts One dies when it moves away We’re born with millions of little lights shiny in our hearts And they die along the way Till we’re old and we’re cold And lying in the dark Cos they’ll all burn out one day They’ll all burn out one day |
