Road To Joy lyrics

The sun came up with no conclusions

Flowers sleeping in their beds.

The city's cemetery's humming

I'm wide awake it's morning.

I have my drugs, I have my woman

They keep away my loneliness

My parents they have their religion

But sleep in separate houses.

I read the body count out of the paper

And now it's written all over my face.

No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter,

Sometimes that's just the most comfortable place.

So, I'm drinking breathing, writing singing

Every day I'm on the clock.

My mind races with all my longings

But can't keep up with what I've got.

So I hope I don't sound too ungrateful,

What history gave modern men

A telephone to talk to strangers

Machine guns and a camera lens.

So, when you're asked to fight a war that's over nothing

It's best to join the side that's gonna win.

And no one's sure how all of this got started,

But we're gonna make 'em god damn certain how it's gonna end.

Oh yeah we will, oh yeah we will!

Well I could have been a famous singer,

If I had someone else's voice.

But failure's always sounded better

Let's fuck it up boys, make some noise!

The sun came up with no conclusions

Flowers sleeping in their beds.

The city's cemetery's humming

I'm wide awake it's morning.
