Broken Window Lyrics - Arcade Fire

Deep in the past, far in the future time 

Deep in the past, far in the future time 

Just 'cause no one saw you, that don't mean it ain't a crime 

They say they know me but they only know my name 

They say they know me but they only know my name 

They're through asking me questions, I ain't gonna learn to sing 

If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why 

If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why 

The night they took you from me I saw the broken window and I cried 

They bound my eyes and they bound my hands 

They bound my eyes and they bound my hands 

Where they're gonna take me now? No one understands 

They say they know me but they only know my name 

They say they know me but they only know my name 

They're through asking me questions, I ain't gonna learn to sing

Lay their hands upon me now, it's midnight blue 

Lay the hands upon me now, it's midnight blue 

They didn't know me and they didn't know you, no, no 

Now reduced to hide in the dark when they came for you 

I gained the world but I lost your trust 

I gained the world but I lost your trust 

they throw their money at you, it ain't easy to adjust 

Come out, and put your hands on your head 

I said come out, and put your hands on your head 

Come and join the rest of us, we are already dead 

If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why 

If they want it they can take it, they don't need no reason why 

The night they took you from me I saw the broken window and I cried 

Woe unto them if they touch a hair on your head 

Woe unto them if they touch a hair on your head 

You're gonna join the rest of us, we are already dead

They won the battle, but the war is through 

They won the battle, but the war is through 

They didn't know me and they didn't know you, no, no 

Now reduced to knock in the dark when they came for you
