You might as well
Lay down that rose
And fold the flag
She is money and tabs
That broken freedom in
See her big children burning rags
By the riverside
You can hear them on the hilltop laughing
Cursing every bird in the air
Telling her what fun they're having
Driving eyes closed
Godless brother
As far as I can tell
And I won't compensate the blight
She looks lovely
As lightning all
But what the hell
Her big kids all run down the road
With no memories at all
And you can hear them on the hilltop laughing
Cursing every bird in the air
Telling her what fun they're having
Driving eyes closed
Godless brother in love
You might as well
Lay down that rose
Godless brother in love You might as well Lay down that rose And fold the flag She is money and tabs That broken freedom in See her big children burning rags By the riverside You can hear them on the hilltop laughing Cursing every bird in the air Telling her what fun they're having Driving eyes closed Godless brother As far as I can tell And I won't compensate the blight She looks lovely As lightning all But what the hell Her big kids all run down the road With no memories at all And you can hear them on the hilltop laughing Cursing every bird in the air Telling her what fun they're having Driving eyes closed Godless brother in love You might as well Lay down that rose Explain Request ×
