A Waste of Blood Lyrics by Matt Elliott

Drinking Songs

2005

[Verse]
And the craters remain from the last time you came
And seemingly our only crime was wrong place, wrong time
And that's why we died
Decisions were made by some corporate ingrates
Put a price on all of our lives, happens all the time
And that's why we died
And that's why we died
And that's why we died
And that's why we died
And that's why we died
And that's why we died
That's why we died
[Interlude]
We have cried
We have cried together
We have tried to-
Offer consolation
And be near to you
We have not
Liked to leave you alone
With doubts
With the human doubts
We were wondering about what had happened to your dear ones
Sacrificed by the driest institutions of the state and America especially
[Instrumental Outro]
