Hostages Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There may come a day someday
When we all look back and laugh
But there's lots of noise in the break room
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 like this one
I'll be the one 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
There may come a day someday
When we all look back and laugh
But there's lots of noise in the break room
Nasty points on the graph
And they're breaking into the broadcast now
Special update from Action News!
