lyrics

Yes, I know it's hard, it's getting harder all the time
You put your back against the wall and brace yourself
and push with all your might.
But nothing's moving, nothing's going anywhere
And you shove til you're exhausted
throw your hands up
and you cry out in despair

But don't you ever give up
No, don't you let it get its claws into you
Those other motherfuckers, oh, what do they do?

So let's crack open a bottle
And let us tune up our guitars
And let us sing to the dying of the stars

Oh, let us sing
For the songs that never get heard
Let's set it on fire
And watch it burn
Oh, sing with me
Make the heavens tremble with our song
Cause sooner than later, we'll be gone.

There's thieves and liars everywhere you turn
And the more time that you spend with them,
The more like them, you'll become, you'll learn

And it hurts to say it but I don't like where we've arrived
Where the rich keep getting richer
And the poor,
Well, the poor, they just keep dying.

I'm just a broken songster
Writing songs that no one will buy.
I have no power to make it right

But here's another song love
A song I sing with all of my heart
I know it's tough
And it's falling apart

So let us sing
For the songs that never get heard
Let's set it on fire
And watch it burn
Oh, sing with me
Make the heavens tremble with our song
Cause sooner than later, we'll be gone.

Let us sing away the pain
Let us sing a song that makes it all okay
And if I sing a bit too long
Oh, I hope you'll forgive me this song.
