lyrics

If the phone rings, pick up
Give us a verse
Something from the old world

Bled out, fight songs
From bad down to worse
Something from the old world

(chorus)
Wake up to rise and shine in dark mornings
This time we’re punching clocks and making stations on time

Strung up, white out
Here comes the ride
Stripped until they shiver

Pieces of silver
One for each eye
Mercy ‘cross the river

(chorus 2)
Wake up to rise and shine in dark mornings
This time we’re punching clocks and making stations on time
Are we the best we can?
Are we the self-made man?

Exit Children
Blind in the light
Feed ‘em to the old world
On our laurels
Give us the verse
Something from the old world

(chorus 2)

Bleed out the old wounds and sing us the old familiar songs
