Austerity Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We've all of us carried our load Dull and young and bright and old But thieves and liars rule everything we know And thieves and liars rule everything that grows [Verse 2] All we want is what we're owed, we've of us carried this load Fucking high and awful low, we've all of us carried this load All we want is what we're owed, we've all of us carried this load Fucking high and awful low, we've all of us carried this load [Verse 3] God, we've tried, how much we've tried Drunk and high, we've seen the sun rise Many sleepless nights we've seen The sun collapsed on everything It's only love that's worth to sing These bells are broke, but still they ring Love and love's the only thing Shut up a while, the birds are singing [Verse 4] God, we've tried, how much we've tried Drunk and high, we've seen the sun rise Many sleepless nights we've seen The sun on top of everything Love is all that's worth to sing We're deep in it, and still we bring The bells are broke, but still they ring The sun on top of everything [Refrain] Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) [Verse 5] We've all of us carried our load (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) Thieves and liars rule everything we know (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) We've all of us carried our load (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) All we want is what we're owed (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) All we want is what we're owed (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) [?] (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) They told us tomorrow, we start today (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) [?] (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) They told us tomorrow, we start today (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) All we want is what we're owed (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) All we want is what we're owed (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) All we want is what we're owed (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) All we want is what we're owed (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) [Refrain] (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down) (Lord let my son live long enough to see that mountain torn down)
