Flogging Molly Black Friday Rule Lyrics

Black Friday Rule Lyrics

I want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never
end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart, if
you gave me the truth

And for every tear that is lost from an eye
I'd
dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom
that's bold
But all I remember is the freedom of old

Well I lost me a
wife, so I found me a plane
Flew all the way to California
This mess in my
head is a mess getting out
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much
stout

But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry
I'll dance up a
storm, sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my
bed
Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head

I've been
down in this world,
down and almost broken
Like thousands of
people,
left standing in their shoe
I've been down in this world,
down
and almost broken
As thousands they grieve,
as the Black Friday
rule

The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still
Oh mother
of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where my feet both feel
safe
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state

So I must remain
in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best, Hell I'm doin' all I can
So
next time you see me, don't ask for my name
For I am the King and sure long
may I reign

I've been down in this world,
down and almost
broken
Like thousands of people,
left standing in their shoe
I've been
down in this world,
down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as
the Black Friday rule

I've been down in this world,
down and almost
broken
Like thousands of people,
left standing in their shoe
I've been
down in this world,
down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as
the Black Friday rule
