Arcade Fire, “Ready to Start.”

Now you’re knocking at my door.
Saying, “Please come out against the night.”
But I would rather be alone,
Than pretend I feel alright.

If the businessmen drink my blood,
Like the kids in art school said they would.
Then I guess I’ll just begin again.
You say, “Can we still be friends?”

If I was scared,
I would.
And if I was pure,
You know I would.
And if I was yours… .
But I’m not.

Now I’m ready to start.

All the kids have always known
That the emperor wears no clothes
But to bow to down to them anyway
Is better than to be alone
