Assassins movie - Another National Anthem lyrics
rate me<br>
[CZOLGOSZ]<br>
I did it because it was wrong for one man <br>
to have so much service when other men have none...<br>
<br>
[BOOTH]<br>
I did it to bring down the government of<br>
Abraham Lincoln and to avenge the ravaged South...<br>
<br>
[HINCKLEY]<br>
I did it to prove to her my everlasting love...<br>
<br>
[FROMME]<br>
I did it to make them listen to Charlie...<br>
<br>
[ZANGARA]<br>
I did it 'cause my belly was on fire...<br>
<br>
[GUITEAU]<br>
I did it to preserve the Union and promote the <br>
sale of my book...<br>
<br>
[MOORE]<br>
I did it so my friends would know where I was <br>
coming from...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
Where's my prize?<br>
<br>
[CZOLGOSZ]<br>
I did it because no on cared about the poor man's pain...<br>
<br>
[MOORE]<br>
I did it so I'd know where I was coming from...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
I want my prize...<br>
<br>
[ZANGARA]<br>
I did it 'cause the bosses made my belly burn...<br>
<br>
[HINCKLEY]<br>
I did it so she'd pay attention...<br>
<br>
[MOORE]<br>
So I'd have someplace to come from, and someplace<br>
to go...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
Don't I get a prize?<br>
<br>
[GUITEAU]<br>
I did it 'cause they said I'b be Ambassador to France...<br>
<br>
[BOOTH]<br>
I did it so they'd suffer in the North the way we'd <br>
suffered in the South...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
I deserve a fucking prize!...<br>
<br>
[FROMME]<br>
I did it so there'd be a trial, and Charlie would get to<br>
be a witness, and he'd be on TV, and he'd save the world!...<br>
<br>
[GUITEAU]<br>
Where's my prize?<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
I did it to make people listen.<br>
<br>
[CZOLGOSZ, FROMME]<br>
They promised me a prize...<br>
<br>
[HINCKLEY]<br>
Because she wouldn't take my phone calls-<br>
<br>
[ALL (Except Zangara)]<br>
What about my prize?<br>
<br>
[ZANGARA]<br>
Because nothing stopped the fire-!<br>
<br>
[ALL (Except Byck)]<br>
I want my prize!...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
Nobody would listen!<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
And it didn't mean a nickel,<br>
You just shed a little blood,<br>
And a lot of people shed a lot of tears.<br>
Yes, you made a little moment<br>
And you stirred a little mud-<br>
<br>
But it didn't fix the stomach <br>
And you've drunk you're drunk you're final bud,<br>
And it didn't help the workers <br>
And it didn't heal the country<br>
And it didn't make them listen<br>
And they never said, "We're Sorry"-<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
Yeah, it's never gonna happen, <br>
Is it?<br>
No, sir-<br>
<br>
[CZOLGOSZ]<br>
Never.<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
No, we're never gonna get the prize-<br>
<br>
[FROMME]<br>
No one listens...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
-Are we?<br>
<br>
[ZANGARA]<br>
Never.<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
No, it doesn't make a bit of difference,<br>
Does it?<br>
<br>
[OTHERS (Variously)]<br>
Didn't.<br>
Ever.<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
Fuck it!<br>
<br>
[OTHERS]<br>
Spread the word...<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
Where's my prize?...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
I just heard<br>
On the news<br>
Where the mailman won the lottery.<br>
Goes to show:<br>
When you lose, what you do is try again.<br>
<br>
You can be <br>
What you choose,<br>
From a mailman to a president.<br>
There are prizes all around you,<br>
If you're wise enough to see:<br>
The delivery boy's on Wall Street,<br>
And the the usherette's a rock star-<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
Right, it's never gonna happen, is it?<br>
Is it!<br>
<br>
[HINCKLEY, FROMME]<br>
No, man!<br>
<br>
[BYCK, CZOLGOSZ]<br>
No, we'll never see the day arrive-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS (Variously)]<br>
Spread the word...<br>
Will we?<br>
No, sir-<br>
Never!<br>
<br>
No one's ever even gonna care if we're alive,<br>
Are they?...<br>
Never...<br>
Spread the word...<br>
We're alive...<br>
Someone's gonna listen...<br>
Listen!<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
Listen...<br>
There's anothe national anthem playing,<br>
Not the one you cheer<br>
At the ball park.<br>
<br>
[MOORE]<br>
Where's my prize?...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
It's the other national anthem, saying,<br>
If you want to hear-<br>
It says, "Bullshit!"...<br>
<br>
[CZOLGOSZ]<br>
It says, "Never!"-<br>
<br>
[GUITEAU]<br>
It says, "Sorry!"-<br>
<br>
[OTHERS]<br>
Loud and clear-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS (Variously)]<br>
It says: Listen<br>
To the tune that keeps sounding<br>
In the distance, on the outside,<br>
Coming through the ground,<br>
To the hearts that go on pounding<br>
To the sound<br>
Getting louder every year-<br>
<br>
Listen to the sound...<br>
Take a look around...<br>
<br>
We're the other national anthem, folks,<br>
The ones that can't get in<br>
To the ball park.<br>
<br>
Spread the word...<br>
<br>
There's another national anthem, folks,<br>
For those who never win,<br>
For the suckers, for the pikers,<br>
For the ones who might have been...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
There are those who love regetting,<br>
There are those who like extremes,<br>
There are those who thrive on chaos<br>
And despair.<br>
There are those who keep forgetting<br>
How the country's buitl on dreams-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
People listen...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
-And the mailman won the lottery-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
They might not want to hear it,<br>
But they listen,<br>
Once they thinks it's gonna stop the game...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
-And the usherette's a rock star.<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
No, they may not understand<br>
All the words,<br>
All the same<br>
They hear the music...<br>
They hear the screams...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
I've got news-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
They hear the sobs,<br>
They hear the drums...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
-You forgot about the country-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
The muffled drums,<br>
The muffled dreams...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
-So it's now forgotten you-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
And they rise...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
You know why I did it? <br>
Because there isn't any<br>
Santa Clause!<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
Where's my prize?<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
And you forgot-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
What's my prize?<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
-How quick it heals-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
Promises and lies...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
-That it's a place<br>
Where you can make the lies come true-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
Spread the word...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
-If you try-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
Gotta spread the word...<br>
<br>
[BALLADEER]<br>
-That's all you have to do-<br>
<br>
[ASSASSINS]<br>
Right,<br>
All you have to do...<br>
<br>
Well, there's another national anthem,<br>
And I think it just began<br>
In the ball park.<br>
Listen hard...<br>
<br>
Like the other national anthem<br>
Say to each and every fan:<br>
If you can't do what you want to,<br>
Then you do the things you can.<br>
<br>
You've got to try again!<br>
<br>
Like they say,<br>
You've go to keep on trying<br>
Every day<br>
Until you get a prize...<br>
Until you get a prize...<br>
<br>
Until you're heard...<br>
Musn't get discouraged...<br>
Spread the word...<br>
Mustn't give up hope...<br>
Up to you-<br>
Don't say-<br>
-What you choose...<br>
-It's never gonna happen...<br>
Spread the word...<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
You can always get a prize...<br>
<br>
[BOOTH]<br>
You can always get your dream...<br>
<br>
[BYCK]<br>
Sure, the mailman won the lottery...<br>
<br>
