Glad Nation’s Death Song Lyrics

Glad Nation’s Death Song

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


And the glad nation’s death song sings x2
And the glad nation’s death song sings x2
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing


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


And the glad nation’s death song sings x2
And the glad nation’s death song sings x2
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing


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


And the glad nation’s death song sings x4
And the glad nation’s death song sings x4
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing
