Assassins soundtrack lyrics Victor Garber---Another National Anthem lyrics CZOLGOSZ I did it because it was wrong for one man to have so much service when other men have none... BOOTH I did it to bring down the government of Abraham Lincoln and to avenge the ravaged South... HINCKLEY I did it to prove to her my everlasting love... FROMME I did it to make them listen to Charlie... ZANGARA I did it 'cause my belly was on fire... GUITEAU I did it to preserve the Union and promote the sale of my book... MOORE I did it so my friends would know where I was coming from... BYCK Where's my prize? CZOLGOSZ I did it because no on cared about the poor man's pain... MOORE I did it so I'd know where I was coming from... BYCK I want my prize... ZANGARA I did it 'cause the bosses made my belly burn... HINCKLEY I did it so she'd pay attention... MOORE So I'd have someplace to come from, and someplace to go... BYCK Don't I get a prize? GUITEAU I did it 'cause they said I'b be Ambassador to France... BOOTH I did it so they'd suffer in the North the way we'd suffered in the South... BYCK I deserve a fucking prize!... FROMME I did it so there'd be a trial, and Charlie would get to be a witness, and he'd be on TV, and he'd save the world!... GUITEAU Where's my prize? BYCK I did it to make people listen. CZOLGOSZ,FROMME They promised me a prize... HINCKLEY Because she wouldn't take my phone calls- ALL(Except Zangara) What about my prize? ZANGARA Because nothing stopped the fire-! ALL(Except Byck) I want my prize!... BYCK Nobody would listen! BALLADEER And it didn't mean a nickel, You just shed a little blood, And a lot of people shed a lot of tears. Yes, you made a little moment And you stirred a little mud- But it didn't fix the stomach And you've drunk you're drunk you're final bud, And it didn't help the workers And it didn't heal the country And it didn't make them listen And they never said, "We're Sorry"- BYCK Yeah, it's never gonna happen, Is it? No, sir- CZOLGOSZ Never. BYCK No, we're never gonna get the prize- FROMME No one listens... BYCK -Are we? ZANGARA Never. BYCK No, it doesn't make a bit of difference, Does it? OTHERS(Variously) Didn't. Ever. BYCK Fuck it! OTHERS Spread the word... ALL Where's my prize?... BALLADEER I just heard On the news Where the mailman won the lottery. Goes to show: When you lose, what you do is try again. You can be What you choose, From a mailman to a president. There are prizes all around you, If you're wise enough to see: The delivery boy's on Wall Street, And the the usherette's a rock star- BYCK Right, it's never gonna happen, is it? Is it! HINCKLEY,FROMME No, man! BYCK,CZOLGOSZ No, we'll never see the day arrive- ASSASSINS(Variously) Spread the word... Will we? No, sir- Never! No one's ever even gonna care if we're alive, Are they?... Never... Spread the word... We're alive... Someone's gonna listen... Listen! BYCK Listen... There's anothe national anthem playing, Not the one you cheer At the ball park. MOORE Where's my prize?... BYCK It's the other national anthem, saying, If you want to hear- It says, "Bullshit!"... CZOLGOSZ It says, "Never!"- GUITEAU It says, "Sorry!"- OTHERS Loud and clear- ASSASSINS(Variously) It says: Listen To the tune that keeps sounding In the distance, on the outside, Coming through the ground, To the hearts that go on pounding To the sound Getting louder every year- Listen to the sound... Take a look around... We're the other national anthem, folks, The ones that can't get in To the ball park. Spread the word... There's another national anthem, folks, For those who never win, For the suckers, for the pikers, For the ones who might have been... BALLADEER There are those who love regetting, There are those who like extremes, There are those who thrive on chaos And despair. There are those who keep forgetting How the country's buitl on dreams- ASSASSINS People listen... BALLADEER -And the mailman won the lottery- ASSASSINS They might not want to hear it, But they listen, Once they thinks it's gonna stop the game... BALLADEER -And the usherette's a rock star. ASSASSINS No, they may not understand All the words, All the same They hear the music... They hear the screams... BALLADEER I've got news- ASSASSINS They hear the sobs, They hear the drums... BALLADEER -You forgot about the country- ASSASSINS The muffled drums, The muffled dreams... BALLADEER -So it's now forgotten you- ASSASSINS And they rise... BYCK You know why I did it? Because there isn't any Santa Clause! ASSASSINS Where's my prize? BALLADEER And you forgot- ASSASSINS What's my prize? BALLADEER -How quick it heals- ASSASSINS Promises and lies... BALLADEER -That it's a place Where you can make the lies come true- ASSASSINS Spread the word... BALLADEER -If you try- ASSASSINS Gotta spread the word... BALLADEER -That's all you have to do- ASSASSINS Right, All you have to do... Well, there's another national anthem, And I think it just began In the ball park. Listen hard... Like the other national anthem Say to each and every fan: If you can't do what you want to, Then you do the things you can. You've got to try again! Like they say, You've go to keep on trying Every day Until you get a prize... Until you get a prize... Until you're heard... Musn't get discouraged... Spread the word... Mustn't give up hope... Up to you- Don't say- -What you choose... -It's never gonna happen... Spread the word... ALL You can always get a prize... BOOTH You can always get your dream... BYCK Sure, the mailman won the lottery...
