The Present State of Grace |
| 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 |
