Flogging Molly - This Present State Of Grace lyrics

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 pa**engers 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
