Billy’s gone to fight a war While the saints go marching in With a bottle of fire and vengeance And his mother’s Valium Dealing retribution From the bottom of the deck One last shot at redemption For a lifetime of regret And there’s no room for purity In this world You can stand up and shout and still not be heard Well he didn’t show for work today Stole the old man’s car Took the good book and a .44 For preaching to the choir The neon signs are flashing Beyond the moon and stars Sometimes you got to come around To remember who you are And there’s no room for purity In this world You can stand up and shout and still not be heard When did you forget (when did you forget) SongtexteThat you’re alive (that you’re alive) When did you look (when did you look) When did you decide (when did you decide) When did you let your past Define your fate When did you act the way You’re taught to hate? Going round and round at home Crowded out, yet all alone Things just happen, more or less The world just has its way, I guess Sometimes I feel that there’s a way To win the game that I can’t play Things just happen for the best You could have much more or less And there’s no room for purity In this world You can stand up and shout and still not be heard Go back home (go back home) You belong Where you’re from (where you’re from) Go back home (go back home) You belong (You belong) You can’t live forever on Grand notions alone Sometimes you gotta shake the dust Then go back home Then go back home Aus Songtexte Mania
