The Menzingers - Freedom Bridge lyrics
[The Menzingers - Freedom Bridge lyrics]
Amy was a waitress at The Fire Street Grill
Up route 6-11, she was slaving for the pill
Oxy's got her pupils pinned up
A junkie centerfold
With grey hairs and a death wish
She was 22 years old
Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall
Specialist Jeg
A much more honest man than you
Came back from the desert where
He never found the truth
Now he screeches tires
Fills his head with alcohol
While the morbid brown faces hang
Like portrait's on the wall
Had it all, he took the fall
Had it all, they took it all
Something happened on the way to hell
The new guard, they took my sister
Something happened on the way to hell
The old guard, they took my brother away
Something happened on the way to hell
The same greed, it took our parents
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it
McTiernan was a good ol' boy
He cheated and he skimmed
"A favor for a favor
It can't be called a sin"
Some may see it different
And some don't see at all
When the papers started calling
He closed his eyes and took the fall
Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall
Now we're standing on the ledge and
We're looking at the ground
I feel my body breaking on the asphalt
Hear the sound
Red and blue lights screaming saying
Step up off that ledge
So we wrap our hearts up in our
Heads and take the fall instead
Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall
Something happened on the way to hell
The new guard, they took my sister
Something happened on the way to hell
The old guard, they took my brother away
Something happened on the way to hell
The same greed, it took our parents
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it
Up route 6-11, she was slaving for the pill
Oxy's got her pupils pinned up
A junkie centerfold
With grey hairs and a death wish
She was 22 years old
Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall
Specialist Jeg
A much more honest man than you
Came back from the desert where
He never found the truth
Now he screeches tires
Fills his head with alcohol
While the morbid brown faces hang
Like portrait's on the wall
Had it all, he took the fall
Had it all, they took it all
Something happened on the way to hell
The new guard, they took my sister
Something happened on the way to hell
The old guard, they took my brother away
Something happened on the way to hell
The same greed, it took our parents
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it
McTiernan was a good ol' boy

Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall

Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it
