The Classic Crime The Bitter Uprising lyrics

If you listen to the sound of hope<br />
In the children's voices asking questions<br />
You'll know how blindness is a blessing<br />
<br />
But I know your type, you're always right<br />
Your tongue controls your mind<br />
But I guess life's the lesson<br />
<br />
If they said forty years I would die before<br />
I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears<br />
And now the time has come to cut our tongues out<br />
And commit ourselves as you did in your memory<br />
<br />
We'll tear down the walls and let them know<br />
We could have it all, we could have some hope<br />
This city could be ours by nightfall<br />
<br />
Do you hear the war drums beating?<br />
Are you truly happy doing nothing, darling?<br />
I need to find the center<br />
<br />
Because love is something right<br />
It's not cooked up overnight<br />
In sticky situations you try<br />
But less is more forever<br />
<br />
If they said forty years, I would die before<br />

I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears<br />
And now the time has come to cut our tongues out<br />
And commit ourselves as you did in your memory<br />
<br />
We'll tear down the walls and let them know<br />
We could have it all, we could have some hope<br />
This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall<br />
<br />
We'll tear down the walls and let them know<br />
We could have it all, we could have some hope<br />
This city could be ours by nightfall<br />
<br />
The minute I was born, you stole my heart<br />
The minute I was born, you stole my heart<br />
The minute I was born, you stole my heart<br />
The minute I was born, the minute I was born<br />
<br />
Tear down the walls and let them know<br />
We could go all night, we could just stay home<br />
This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall<br />
<br />
We'll tear down the walls and let them know<br />
We could have it all, we could have some hope<br />
This city could be ours by nightfall
