New Model Army Bittersweet lyrics

Once upon a time it was easy
Everything kind of fell into place
Now this feeling won't leave me
We lost the power and we lost the pace

It's staring straight between the eyes
Something isn't right
The harder we try the more we realize
Something isn't right
So bittersweet, this whole thing, so bitter sweet

Caught in this struggle for power
Where only blood ever tastes sweet

Everything else is so sour
The numbing failures and defeats

The loner's not a western hero
With nerves of steel and heart of gold
But here alone in the disco, icy cold
But there's always another morning
We're never dead till the last breath
So bittersweet, this whole thing, so bitter sweet
