Flogging Molly - Hope lyrics
[Flogging Molly - Hope lyrics]
It's another eight years of
The same bloody fears
As the engine that grinds to a halt
No more of this rhetoric
Our words they are septic
There's blood on the hands of us all
So let's tune ourselves out
Dig our heads in the ground
We'll watch as the tide drifts away
Drop holier life kiss your beautiful wife
It's gonna all end with a punch
Oh, I said hope it's still a shout away
A shout away like it was yesterday
I said hope it's still a shout away
And away we shout once more
There's no black without tan
Said the fiery young man
With a vengeance he'll never let go
His mother and father
Their parents before them
All dreamt of a place to call home
But hope is the killer
To those who died willing may they rest
In their peace we now break
Oh, now hope is the wiser
It breaks bread with the mindless
There's no ghosts only bodies
Haunt the grave, haunt the grave
But maybe I'm wrong but I've tried all along
To make sense of this hell up above
Our pockets still empty
The virus now spreading
The joy of this madness behold
So say that our sins, we had none to begin
For as mortals we baptize the soul
There's always a day
When you hear someone say
With the young tell me it's a joke
It's no joke
I said hope, still a shout away
I said hope, still a shout away
I said hope, still a shout away
And away we shout once more, once more
Ahh, I said hope, it's still a shout away
And away we shout once more
The same bloody fears
As the engine that grinds to a halt
No more of this rhetoric
Our words they are septic
There's blood on the hands of us all
So let's tune ourselves out
Dig our heads in the ground
We'll watch as the tide drifts away
Drop holier life kiss your beautiful wife
It's gonna all end with a punch
Oh, I said hope it's still a shout away
A shout away like it was yesterday
I said hope it's still a shout away
And away we shout once more
There's no black without tan
Said the fiery young man
With a vengeance he'll never let go
His mother and father
Their parents before them
All dreamt of a place to call home
But hope is the killer
To those who died willing may they rest
In their peace we now break
Oh, now hope is the wiser
It breaks bread with the mindless
There's no ghosts only bodies
Haunt the grave, haunt the grave
But maybe I'm wrong but I've tried all along
To make sense of this hell up above
Our pockets still empty
The virus now spreading
The joy of this madness behold
So say that our sins, we had none to begin
For as mortals we baptize the soul
There's always a day
When you hear someone say
With the young tell me it's a joke
It's no joke
I said hope, still a shout away
I said hope, still a shout away
I said hope, still a shout away
And away we shout once more, once more
Ahh, I said hope, it's still a shout away
And away we shout once more
