The Classic Crime Album: Albatross Track: Bitter Uprising
Bitter Uprising Lyrics
If you listen to the sound of the hope In the children's voices asking questions You'll know how blindness is a blessing But I know your type, you're always right, your tongue controls your mind But I guess life's the lesson
If they said 40 years I would die before I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears And now the time has come to cut our tongues out And commit ourselves as you did in your memory
We'll tear down the walls and let them know We could have it all, we could have some hope This city could be ours by nightfall
Do you hear the war drums beating? Are you truly happy doing nothing, darling? I need to find the center Because love is something right, it's not cooked up overnight In sticky situations you try But less is more forever
If they said 40 years I would die before I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears And now the time has come to cut our tongues out And commit ourselves as you did in your memory
We'll tear down the walls and let them know We could have it all, we could have some hope This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall We'll tear down the walls and let them know We could have it all, we could have some hope This city could be ours by nightfall
The minute I was born, you stole my heart The minute I was born, you stole my heart The minute I was born, you stole my heart The minute I was born, the minute I was born
Tear down the walls and let them know We could go all night, we could just stay home This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall Tear down the walls and let them know We could have it all, we could have some hope This city could be ours by nightfall
