David Ford - To Hell With The World

Текст песни

Tired faces scream from their bright magazines
Got their fingernails clamped to the page
With a look of the born to be painfully ordinary gods of a desperate age
There’s no stories to tell, but there’s a spokesperson yelling
At a volume to drown out your voice
Saying «justice be done, there’s a change gonna come
But in secret and you won’t get a choice.»
So to hell with the world, I still love you my girl
You''ve been crazy to stay by my side
So let’s stand and let’s sing, and there are beautiful things
If you know the places they hide
And the band’s playing tunes that mean nothing to you
But you can dance better with the devil you know
All along I was taught to keep my head above the water
But I might just prefer it below
Yes, and maybe the greatest of heroes
Inhabit the stories that nobody hears
Yes, and maybe these songs that could''ve brought you to life
Weren’t allowed to come close to your ears
So to hell with the world, I still love you my girl
You''ve been crazy to stay by my side
So let’s stand and let’s sing, and there are beautiful things
If you know the places they hide
And they’ll hide from you darling, they will
Far away from the changing regimes
There’s a light, there’s a right, tonight isn''t as dark as it seems
So when victory comes at too heavy a price
Well, there’s honor in choosing defeat
Like the boy who was given the keys to the world
And decided to sleep in the street
So to hell with the world, oh, I still love you my girl
You''ve been crazy to stay by my side
So let’s stand and let’s sing, and there are these beautiful things
If you know the places they hide…
