Flogging Molly - This Present State Of Grace Lyrics
In this present state of graceI hold my head up highThough the water damage frozeAnother flood will soon be byHere and now is all we'll beSo it's this present state of grace I offer theeWelcome home to the menAnd the women who defendBack to their lives and the liesShat on them by governmentThrough the barbs and the pokesAnd the ones we'd like to chokeIt's this present state of grace I offer theeIn this present state of graceA poor man robbed me blindThough I offered him the cashHe said 'don't insult my pride'To each their ownWe're just flesh and boneAn this present state of grace I offer theeIn this present state of graceI saw the wall capsizeAnd through the banks they fellInto the swelling tideLet them eat cakeFor our mistakesAnd this present state of grace I offer theeSo let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang SyneUnder the carpet sweep behindWhere passengers making turnsTowards the coming great divideThe true prophet never spokeHe just smiles and saw the jokeAnd this present state of grace I offer thee'Cause only life, yeah only life has loneliness to sellSo celebrate, yeah live your life, live it and raise hellThe true prophet never spokeHe just smiled and saw the jokeAnd this present state of grace we creatures needYeah, it's this present state of grace we creatures need
