Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies (Official Video)
[00:36.77] Must it take a life for hateful eyes
[00:41.03] To glisten once again
[00:43.68] Five hundred years like Gelignite
[00:46.60] Have blown us all to hell
[00:49.79] What savior rests while on his cross we die
[00:52.71] While forgotten freedom burns
[00:55.64] Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
[00:58.82] To the bigot and the gun
[01:01.74] Must it take a life for hateful eyes
[01:04.95] To glisten once again
[01:08.13] 'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
[01:11.06] Singin' drunken lullabies
[01:26.47] I watch and stare as Rosin's eyes
[01:29.66] Turn a darker shade of red
[01:32.57] And the bullet with this sniper lie
[01:35.76] In their bloody gutless cell
[01:38.95] Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
[01:41.60] Through bars these men made steel
[01:45.07] Is it a great or little thing we fought
[01:47.99] Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
[01:51.18] Must it take a life for hateful eyes
[01:54.37] To glisten once again
[01:57.29] 'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
[02:00.21] Singin' drunken lullabies
[02:03.67] Ah, but maybe it's the way you were taught
[02:06.59] Or maybe it's the way we fought
[02:09.78] But a smile never grins without tears to begin
[02:12.70] For each kiss is a cry we all lost
[02:16.15] Though there is nothing left to gain
[02:19.08] But for the banshee that stole the grave
[02:22.26] 'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
[02:25.18] Singin' drunken lullabies
[03:05.34] I sit in and dwell on faces past
[03:08.79] Like memories seem to fade
[03:11.98] No color left but black and white
[03:14.90] And soon will all turn grey
[03:18.09] But may these shadows rise to walk again
[03:21.01] With lessons truly learnt
[03:23.94] When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
[03:27.12] Shall beat a new found flame
[03:30.31] Must it take a life for hateful eyes
[03:33.76] To glisten once again
[03:36.42] 'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
[03:39.60] Singin' drunken lullabies
[03:42.79] 'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
[03:45.72] Singin' drunken lullabies, singin' drunken lullabies
