The Brave Optimistic - The Peace Prize (Roosevelt FTW) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Soldier, teach me how to sleep
Surgeon, how do you still weep
And how do blissful plutocrats forget their dreams
I wanna know

[Chorus 1]
Oh Teddy, history it smiles upon
The hawks for all their mercy
One rabbit in a hole still left alive
Now evil men like you may know
It’s safe to bring their misery
Your holy face upon a mountainside

[Verse 2]
Giants love the six-foot, bigfoot, meant to do good laws
They clear out all the paths they love to cross
And leave all of us little men with more land lost
I wanna run
Sinners write the holy books
They turn their deepest scars into a noose
And hang up men as effigies that share their wounds
I wanna live

[Chorus 2]
History it smiles upon
The fools for all their knowledge
Their simply ordinary prose make sense
While men who dig down in the dirt
To solve our greatest mysteries
They know it’s wise to speak softly without a stick

[Bridge]
Drum those drums of war with the people on your side
And sing their songs of peace when their consciousness revives

[Chorus 3]
Oh Teddy, history it smiles upon
The hawks for all their mercy
One rabbit in a hole still left alive
Now evil men like you may know
It’s safe to bring their misery
Your holy face upon a mountainside
Soldier...
