Anthem
Home show, mom won't know. Run out the back door. he's passed out on the floor. Third time, been caught twice. Forgive our neighbor Bob. I think he humped the dog. But good things come to those who wait. Cause she laid me. And mom and dad possess the key - instant slavery. no need explain the plan no need to even bother. I'll pack my bags I swear I'll run - wish my friends were 21. White lies, bloodshot eyes. Breath of alcohol, stole it from the mall. How's Chris marked with lipstick. Better call their fathers, sleeping with your daughters. But good things come to those who wait. Cause she laid me. And mom and dad possess the key - instant slavery. no need explain the plan no need to even bother. I'll pack my bags I swear I'll run - wish my friends were 21. You don't belong, you left the kids to carry on. You planned their fall. To bad you're wrong, don't need a mom dad slave drive song. I time bomb. Turn low the radio, I think I hear my dad. Yelling at the band. But good things come to those who wait. Cause she laid me. And mom and dad possess the key - instant slavery. no need explain the plan no need to even bother. I'll pack my bags I swear I'll run - wish my friends were 21. You don't belong, you left the kids to carry on. You planned their fall. To bad you're wrong, don't need a mom dad slave drive song. I time bomb.The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
We asked for signs
the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every government --
signs for all to see.
I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.
Ring the bells that still can ring ...
You can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
