Stand Down
Art Brut
Bang Bang Rock & Roll (2005)

I thought my resolve
Was too hard to be broken
It's easy to pretend
That you were just joking
There's no need to see plans
Through to fruition
Especially if
You've guessed the conclusion

Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
A right to advise, advice I you're wise
There's no shame in giving in

I'm delighted to have found
If it's too heavy, you can...
Just put it down
The bravest decision you ever make
Is admitting that
You've made a mistake

Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
A right to advise, advice I you're wise
There's no shame in giving in

Stand down, stand down
Stand down, stand down

It's not a lack of determination
It's more heroic resignation

Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
Some of us want to go back to our families
Stand down with Enrico Gatti
I've no right to advise, advice for the wise
There's no shame in giving up
