|
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 |
