lyrics

Within my home and family where I came from
A search for liberty, 6 generations long
Nothing ever gets me like that picture of the fall
My brother painted on the station wall

With all the old hostility within the town
The brothers drunk and wild, forever running round
They’re hiding in the hills from the fighting in the sun
They’ve had the streets since 1961

But we’ll all go together
Upon the rising tide
Singing songs to each other
Across the ocean 50 years wide

Take me to the place where liberty was found
Take me to the time where we were underground
I understand on my plot of land the crops still grow
Beneath the thieving eyes of someone I don’t know

In gods name we were banished from the neighbourhood
In my mind we were sent away for your own good
Nothing ever got me like that picture of the fall
That once stared from the knocked down station wall

But we’ll all go together
Along the mountain side
We’ll embrace one another
For those of us who’ll perish on the ride

We all went together
A convoy 50 miles wide
Made a pact with each other
To never say we saw the other side

We all went together
Wasted barely alive
Singing songs to each other
The songs that sang the story of your life
The songs that sang the story of your life
