In 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
|
