Don’t Shut ’Em Down Lyrics
3 ContributorsDon’t Shut ’Em Down LyricsSad days are kissing the cheeks
Of the families who are walking away
Tragic the pubs are all closing
The system is broken decay
Business is down at the Depot
Defenses are the only things built
Neighbors wave goodbye to each other
This country is over they say
Chorus
Now this is life in a modern town
The windows smashed open
With the doors kicked out
It's not a good day left to be in a fight
Living is hard through the struggles of life
If nothing gets done it will never be right
But don't shut 'em down
Lately the 21st century's been crazy
It's the sign of the times
Buildings decomposing in slumber
There's no work for all 'til they wake
Chorus
Too many faults, no reasons
The rains that fall dry bleeding
Upon the ashes of our homes, out homes
Save our homes
(Manic the word on the street here is panic)
(There's a riot on hand)
People taking care of the people
There's no other way or we'll break
Chorus
The Power’s Out Lyrics
4 ContributorsThe Power’s Out LyricsFrom the town of Detroit where my job is secure, yeah
Secure in the fact now that it's gone for good, yeah
So I'll scrimp and I'll scrape at this pension I saved
So it should be gone by the end of the day
Yeah the power's out
Is there no luck in sight?
Yeah the power's out
Hope it's just for the night
Yeah the power's out
Anothe kick in the head
I'm so poor at this living I'd be richer off...
Wrap me up in your silver then roll me in gold, yeah
Then ice up this whiskey 'til it's nice and cold, yeah
Forgive me for dreaming it's all I have left
Except this pending foreclosure and mountains of debt
Yeah the power's out
Well there's fuck all to see
Yeah the power's out
Like this economy
Yeah the power's out
Guess it's par for the course
Unless you're a blood sucking leech CEO, CEO
So I guess the good lord has forgotten about me
And me like himself my old trade's carpentry
I could build him a cross with one hand behind back
And the other three nails 'case he gives me the sack
Yeah the power's out
The poor dog has left home
Yeah the power's out
Couldn't 'ford him a bone
Yeah the power's out
It's the trickle effect
Today it's just me but tomorrow ye rest
Yeah the power's out
Yeah the power's out
Yeah the power's out
Yeah the power...
So don't spend your taxes on men on the moon, yeah
We've been there before and we left pretty soon, yeah
The grass will be greener one day I expect
When the earth will catch fire then replenish itself
From the town of Detroit where we fight 'til we drop, yeah
We don't want your pity we just want a job, yeah
There's no shame in us asking with some self-respect
But don't leave it much longer; we're human at best
Yeah the power's out
Well there's fuck all to see
Yeah the power's out
Like this economy
Yeah the power's out
Guess it's par for the course
Unless you're a blood sucking leech CEO, CEO, CEO, CEO
The CEO must go
Yeah the power's out
Yeah the power's out
Yeah the power's out
Yeah the power's out
Power's out, the power's out
From the town of Detroit where we fight 'til we drop
From the town of Detroit where my job is secure
'Cause the power's out
So Sail On Lyrics
4 ContributorsSo Sail On LyricsTime to take a breath once more
Before the hammer blow
Wrap myself around the veil
Against the bitter cold
Body bruised from selfishness
The penny dropped too late i guess
Chorus
So sail on
To all now born
So sail on to you
Raise my glass to all before
True friends I have known
Take me to my virgin grave
Beneath the haunting snow
Nothing left but fare thee well
I wish you health, and please take care
Chorus.... Chorus x2
This Present State of Grace Lyrics
5 ContributorsThis Present State of Grace LyricsIn this present state of grace
I hold my head up high
Though the water damage froze
Another flood will soon be by
Here and now is all we'll be
So it's this present state of grace I offer thee
Welcome home to the men
And the women who defend
Back to their lives and the lies
Shat on them by government
Through the barbs and the pokes
And the ones we'd like to choke
It's this present state of grace I offer thee
In this present state of grace
A poor man robbed me blind
Though I offered him the cash
He said 'don't insult my pride'
To each their own
We're just flesh and bone
An this present state of grace I offer thee
In this present state of grace
I saw the wall capsize
And through the banks they fell
Into the swelling tide
Let them eat cake
For our mistakes
And this present state of grace I offer thee
So let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang Syne
Under the carpet sweep behind
Where passengers making turns
Towards the coming great divide
The true prophet never spoke
He just smiles and saw the joke
And this present state of grace I offer thee
'Cause only life, yeah only life has loneliness to sell
So celebrate, yeah live your life, live it and raise hell
The true prophet never spoke
He just smiled and saw the joke
And this present state of grace we creatures need
Yeah, it's this present state of grace we creatures need
