Flogging Molly - Us of Lesser Gods lyrics

There's a breeze that's blowing
In from the land instead of salt air
All we breathe in is sand
Crippled the cloud that once
Brought us the rain good job
Now we'll never see our coasts again

But those of us, those of us
Us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry
Won't drink till we're parched
But those of us
Those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where
No devil could spawn

Take me back
Take me back to the way life used to be
A whisper's now saying what
Words used to speak
Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV
For no act of contrition will pardon the soul
The damage now glistens, see how it glows

But those of us, those of us
Us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry
Won't drink till we're parched
But those of us
Those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where
No devil could spawn

Take me back
Take me back to the way life used to be

Yesterday is better than it is today
And today will be better than tomorrow
They say we don't want what you know but
We know what we want
That's live and let live
We're all different accounts

But those of us, those of us
Us of lesser gods
Won't eat till we're hungry
Won't drink till we're parched
But those of us
Those of us who forget where we're from
Create now this hell where
No devil could spawn

Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride
Worn out comes the welcome from
A truth that never lied
Weep now for the tear, cold on the face
So come down from your heaven, Lord
Let me show you hell on earth
Take me back to the way life's never been
