“She won the lottery,
But lost it all in the war.
Now she’s poor like the rest of us,
And now she knows what we’ve fought for.
So, she’ll hit the road,
To find a boy who preaches the good word.
Go onwards,
Towards final victory.
Go onwards if you must.
Go onwards,
Towards final victory,
Go onwards if you must.
Victory, though it is sweet,
It seems our ends will never meet.
And though we’ve tried,
To stay alive,
It’s not like I even tried,
To make things right.
(A generation of primitive innocence,
And I will fossilize it...
Within our own existence)
But when she finds the boy,
He says there’s no truth to what he says.
But onwards,
Towards final victory,
Onwards you must.
Go onwards,
Towards final victory,
Go onwards... you must!
Victory, though it is sweet,
It seems our ends will never meet.
And though we’ve strived,
To stay alive,
It’s not like I even tried,
To make things right.
Go onwards!
Go onwards!
You must!
It’s victory!”
