Lyrics

It’s another eight years of the same bloody fears
As the engine that grinds to a halt
No more of this rhetoric, our words they are septic
There’s blood on the hands of us all
So let’s tune ourselves out
Dig our heads in the ground
We’ll watch as the tide drifts away
Drop holier life
Kiss your beautiful wife
It’s gonna all end with a punch
Oh, I said hope
It’s still a shout away
A shout away like it was yesterday
I said hope
It’s still a shout away
And away we shout once more
There’s no black without tan said the fiery young man
With a vengeance he’ll never let go
His mother and father, their parents before them
All dreamt of a place to call home
But hope is the killer
To those who died willing
May they rest
In their peace
We now break
Oh now hope
Is none the wiser
It breaks bread
With the mindless
There’s no ghosts
Only bodies
Haunt the grave
Haunt the grave
Oh, I said hope
It’s still a shout away
A shout away like it was yesterday
I said hope
It’s still a shout away
And away we shout once more
But maybe I’m wrong, but I’ve tried all along
To make sense of this hell up above
Our pockets still empty, the virus now spreading
The joy of this madness behold
So say that our sins, we had none to begin
For as mortals we baptize the soul
There’s always a day when you hear someone say
With the young tell me it’s a joke
It’s no joke
Oh, I said hope
It’s still a shout away
A shout away like it was yesterday
I said hope
It’s still a shout away
And away we shout once more
I said hope, still a shout away
I said hope, still a shout away
I said hope, still a shout away
And away we shout once more
Once more
Ahh, I said hope
It’s still a shout away
And away we shout once more
