Karaoké Drunken Lullabies Flogging Molly

Wooh

Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again

Five hundred years like Gelignite have blown us all to hell

What savior rests while on his cross we die

Forgotten freedom burns

Has the Shepard led his lambs astray to the bigot and the gun

Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again

'Cos we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies

I watch and stare as Rosin's eyes turn a darker shade of red

And the bullet with this sniper lie in their bloody gutless cell

Must we starve on crumbs from long ago

Through bars these men made steel

Is it a great or little thing we fought

Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again

'Cos we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies

But maybe it's the way you were taught or maybe it's the way we fought

But a smile never grins without tears to begin

For each kiss is a cry we all lost

There is nothin' left to gain but for the banshee that stole the grave

'Cos we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies

Yeah

I sit in and dwell on faces past like memories seem to fade

No color left but black and white and soon will all turn grey

But may these shadows rise to walk again with lessons truly learnt

When the blossom flowers in each our hearts shall beat a new found flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes to glisten once again

'Cos we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies

'Cos we find ourselves in the same old mess singin' drunken lullabies

Singin' drunken lullabies
