CMust it take a life for hateful eyes
gTo glisten once again
GFive hundred years like Gelignite
gHave blown us all to Chell
CWhat savior rests while on his cross we die
gForgotten freedom burns
GHas the Shepard led his lambs astray
gto the bigot and the Cgun
GMust it take a life for hateful Ceyes
GTo glisten once aCgain
Cause we Cfind oursGelves in the gsame old mess
Singin' Cdrunken ClullaCbies
CI watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
gTurn a darker shade of red
GAnd the bullet with this sniper lie
gIn their bloody gutless Ccell
CMust we starve on crumbs from long ago
gThrough these bars of men made steel
GIs it a great or little thing we fought
gKnelt the conscience blessed to Ckill
GMust it take a life for Chateful eyes
GTo glisten once aCgain
Cause we Cfind ourGselves in the gsame old mess
Singin' Cdrunken ClullaCbies
Ah, but Gmaybe it`s the Cway we're Ctaught
Or Gmaybe it`s the Cway we Cfought
But a Gsmile never Cgrins without Ctears to Gbegin
For each Gkiss is a Ccry we all Clost
Though Gnothing left to Cgain
But for the Gbanshee that stole the Cgrave
Cause we Cfind ourGselves in the gsame old mess
Singin' Cdrunken ClullaCbies
CI sit in and dwell on faces past
gLike memories seem to fade
GNo colour left but black and white
gAnd soon will all turn Cgrey
CBut may these shadows rise to walk again
gWith lessons truly learnt
GWhen the blossom flowers in each our hearts
gShall beat a new found Cflame
GMust it take a life for Chateful eyes
GTo glisten once aCgain
Cause we Cfind ourGselves in the gsame old mess
Singin' Cdrunken ClullaCbies
Cause we Cfind ourGselves in the gsame old mess
Singin' Cdrunken ClullaCbies
Singin' Cdrunken ClullaCbies
