The Milk Carton Kids - High Hopes lyrics
[The Milk Carton Kids - High Hopes lyrics]
The letter said it all, we're shipping out
I know they got it wrong without a doubt
The war ain't over there, it's here with me
The battle of the bloody century
What is going here
What becomes the lot of us
I thought I would complain, dear
When joining with the great circus
But, I've got high, I've got high
I've got high hopes tonight
I got high already
"Settle up your bill, " the raining shouts
The patter of forsaken voices loud
Lined throughout the pockets of my vest
A greenback skeleton holds in the rest
A symphony of mercy falls upon no deafer ears
I'd look you in the eyes but
I wouldn't recognize your fears
But, I've got high, I've got high
I've got high hopes tonight
I got high already
I know they got it wrong without a doubt
The war ain't over there, it's here with me
The battle of the bloody century
What is going here
What becomes the lot of us
I thought I would complain, dear
When joining with the great circus
But, I've got high, I've got high
I've got high hopes tonight
I got high already
"Settle up your bill, " the raining shouts
The patter of forsaken voices loud
Lined throughout the pockets of my vest
A greenback skeleton holds in the rest
A symphony of mercy falls upon no deafer ears
I'd look you in the eyes but
I wouldn't recognize your fears
But, I've got high, I've got high
I've got high hopes tonight
I got high already
