Glad Nation's Death Song (Athens, 2012-01-28) Songtext
von The Walkabouts

These are the ghosts that I half believed
Guns and liquor and the carnival freak
But then one day the whole world shook
And I got arrested for stealin′ a look

And the glad nation's death song sings
And the glad nation′s death song sings
And I wanna hear you sing
I wanna hear you
Hear you sing

Well, they dragged me down to the debtor's jail
Where no one cried 'cause the drinks were free
And there I met you, you were passin′ the hat
Sayin′ give to the memory of a long gone dream


And the glad nation's death song sings
And the glad nation′s death song sings
And I wanna hear you sing
I wanna hear you
Hear you sing

This is the sound of one hand clappin'
This is the sound of one man laughin′
Sayin' we are lucky, yeah, lucky is us
′Cause behind these bars we've been stuck

And the glad nation's death song sings
And the glad nation′s death song sings
And the glad nation′s death song sings
And the glad nation's death song sings

And I wanna hear you sing
I wanna hear you
Hear you sing
