Winning Side Lyrics
It's the winning side
And everyone is cheering
For the winning side
And the children leave their homes
To join the winning side
And when Jesus comes he'll march on
With the winning side
And we've got all the right answers
And the guiding light
Whether wrong or right
And we have no fear
No, we have no fear
Waiting for the sign
We will give our lives
We will give our lives
And I feel so isolated
It's so lonely here at night
I can almost feel you near me
I imagine that you're with me
On the winning side
We don't ask too many questions
On the winning side
And I've got this strange sensation
On the winning side
I don't recognize the faces
On the winning side
And we all live here in cages
Someone cried last night
And it made a sound
With my eyes closed tight
I hear everything
I can hear your voice
When I kiss the ground
When I kiss the ground
And I'd like to know you better
And I'd like to know your name
I could really show you something
If you give me half a chance
'Cause I'm on the winning side
Yeah
Winning side [x3]
In the sleepless night
When the blindness comes
Washing over me
Like a giant wave
On a sandless beach
Washing over me
I am proud to be
And I'd like to take you somewhere
That you've never been before
And I feel so isolated
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
Yeah
Winning side
And everyone is cheering
For the winning side
And the children leave their homes
To join the winning side
And when Jesus comes he'll march on
With the winning side
And we've got all the right answers
Whether wrong or right
And we have no fear
No, we have no fear
Waiting for the sign
We will give our lives
We will give our lives
And I feel so isolated
It's so lonely here at night
I can almost feel you near me
I imagine that you're with me
On the winning side
We don't ask too many questions
On the winning side
And I've got this strange sensation
On the winning side
I don't recognize the faces
On the winning side
And we all live here in cages
And it made a sound
With my eyes closed tight
I hear everything
I can hear your voice
When I kiss the ground
When I kiss the ground
And I'd like to know your name
I could really show you something
If you give me half a chance
'Cause I'm on the winning side
Yeah
When the blindness comes
Washing over me
Like a giant wave
On a sandless beach
Washing over me
I am proud to be
That you've never been before
And I feel so isolated
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
And I feel so all alone
Here on the winning side
Yeah
Winning side

The Crusades?
Hmm...I never thought of the Crusades specifically, but yeah, I'd be inclined to go with it being a sarcastic commentary on general militarism and the like.
This song is about the general Mob mentality humans are so easily caught up in. We all want to belong to "something" and it feels good to belong. When we get wrapped up in The Mob (be it a church a political party, a small group of friends a counter culture) we forget wrong and right and lose our own values and don't question the status qou in fear of being outed from the "winning side" . So yes the crusades would fit that description as would the Nazis 'the republican party' the democratic party, any church goer who thinks any fellow man is not as good as he is for whatever reason. I have always liked the line "And when Jesus comes he'll march on With the winning side" I have always taken irony with that line as if it is saying there will be A LOT of people surprised on Jesus's return. However I could be reading more into this line than Danny meant as I am not sure how much he cares for religion but that is a sign of a great poet everyone can interpret their own philosophies to the poem.
