Dave Johnston - The National Guard lyrics

[Verse 1] This room hasn't made me feel at home This world hasn't filled me up with hope This has gone too far, I'm left playing the part I know best The lion's share I gave to you Diminished year by year to few This has gone too far, I've met too many faces to forget [Chorus (x2)] For the first time I'll be coming home Thrown into the ashes, born into the afterglow [Verse 2] You've got your powers that be You've got your mandate and your greed This has gone too far to take, you know me better than you think [Chorus (x2)] For the first time I'll be coming home Thrown into the ashes, born into the afterglow [Bridge + Instrumental] Come out of your head, I guard familiar places Come over this hurdle, I guard familiar faces too Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (x4) [Outro] I guard familiar places, I guard familiar faces I guard familiar places, I guard, I guard you I guard familiar places, I guard familiar faces I guard you, I guard you I guard you, I guard you, I guard, I guard
