Lyrics
Winner takes all
You still hope
But you can't hide
Tear down this portrait swim against the tide
I'm telling you winner takes all
Thick Muskoka haze
Just outside my gaze
But I'm not craving those golden days
I'm telling you winner takes all
These blues obey me
Sometimes and lately
If you persist
Upon this simple tryst
I'm sure you'll feel the consequence
I'm betting you winner takes all
You still hope
But you can't hide
Tear down this statue in new record time
I'm telling you winner takes all
Winner takes all
Winner takes all
