Q&A
A Brilliant Ally Lyrics
Blacklisted incidentally.
Did I choose it or it chose me?
Did I force your hand with my inquiry?
Are you ever going to talk to me?
No one offers evidence,
No one suspects innocence.
You don’t reply conveniently,
I thought I acted admirably.
I admit my mistake,
But I was never on the take.
I know where my sympathies lie.
I know where my sympathy lies.
Buried half-alive in shallow graves,
restless hungry for the light you gave.
And stole away.
(missing verse)
I guess this is my reward,
that we can’t reach some accord.
I know where my sympathies lie.
I know where my sympathy lies.
Did I choose it or it chose me?
Did I force your hand with my inquiry?
Are you ever going to talk to me?
No one suspects innocence.
I thought I acted admirably.
I admit my mistake,
But I was never on the take.
I know where my sympathy lies.
Buried half-alive in shallow graves,
restless hungry for the light you gave.
And stole away.
that we can’t reach some accord.
I know where my sympathy lies.

ok,so i havent heard this song,but i know conor oberst's brother matt is in it and i feel bad that no one has commented. i feel like i'd be cheating if i made a comment about the lyrics,though,because i havent even heard the song. i figure the band would appreciate it more if instead i said that im sure they're awesome and im asking for their cd for christmas. i do like "i know where my sympathy lies", though
