Hostages Lyrics – The Mountain Goats
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 a graph
They’re breaking into the broadcast now
Special update from action news
Some of what you’ll hear and the footage that follows
May not reflect our station’s views
We may run out of bullets
We’re never gonna run out of hostages
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
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
We may run out of bullets
We’re never gonna run out of hostages
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
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
Helicopters in the distance
Music of the spheres on the wind
It’s gonna be a long ride from here down to the exit
Some might look back and laugh at the end
We may run out of bullets
We’re never gonna run out of hostages
