Dropkick Murphys - The Torch lyrics
[Dropkick Murphys - The Torch lyrics]
Wash away all the lines on your face
That show how you've aged
It's a long way down-
Your back's been broken you
Can't make the rounds
The tables are turned as the litany goes
You're a rotten old man who'll
Be covered in dirt on your knees
And pray to the maker that
Cause you the bleed
Turn back the hands on the clock
You're a bitter old man who's
Done nothing but work
Your hands to the bone on assembly lines
You've grown cold to the touch of
The ones that you love
Ignorance is something you can overcome
But, you've passed it on down
And that's something much worse
For a bitter young manis now taking the torch
Silent scorn-
You've taken it out on the ones you adore
Incide rage- they've left you before but
They'll come back again
They'll pray for you with all their love
But this time your indifference
Just can't be excused forced armends-
Well it's something you die with but
It goes on for them
For a bitter young manhas now taken the torch
That show how you've aged
It's a long way down-
Your back's been broken you
Can't make the rounds
The tables are turned as the litany goes
You're a rotten old man who'll
Be covered in dirt on your knees
And pray to the maker that
Cause you the bleed
Turn back the hands on the clock
You're a bitter old man who's
Done nothing but work
Your hands to the bone on assembly lines
You've grown cold to the touch of
The ones that you love
Ignorance is something you can overcome
But, you've passed it on down
And that's something much worse
For a bitter young manis now taking the torch
Silent scorn-
You've taken it out on the ones you adore
Incide rage- they've left you before but
They'll come back again
They'll pray for you with all their love
But this time your indifference
Just can't be excused forced armends-
Well it's something you die with but
It goes on for them
For a bitter young manhas now taken the torch
