Free for all so choose your places well But you won't believe all the things we're telling you End it all before the curtain falls Because all time will tell Is that everything is a lie I lost the fight but won the war And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for You lost the fight but won the war And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for But if you think that it's cold when you're swimming in the ocean It's hard to believe you're a Nova Scotian boy Have you considered the cost of abusing your devotion And if we get lost we can find out Where it was we used to be when time stood still for you You or I could tell a story well But attention fell before the lights came on again Without the sense of hearing My thoughts are disappearing And all time will tell Is that anyone can decide I lost the fight but won the war And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for anyway You lost the fight but won the war And no one really knows what it is we're fighting for But if you think that it's cold when you're swimming in the ocean It's hard to believe you're a Nova Scotian boy Have you considered the cost of abusing your devotion And if we get lost we can find out Where it was we used to be We're following signs to the sea So take your time If you're leaving before me And say goodbye Say bye bye
