Flogging Molly Present State Of Grace lyrics

In this present state of grace
I hold my head up high
Where the water damage froze
Another flood will soon be by

Here and now is all it means
So it's this present state of grace
I offered here

Welcome home to the men
And the women who defend
Back to their lives and the lives
Shat on them by government

Through the barbs and the pokes
Are the ones we'd like to choke
It's this present state of grace
I offered here

In this present state of grace
Poor men rob me blind
Though I offered him the cash he said
Don't insult my pride

To each their own
We're just flesh and bone
And this present state of grace
I offered here

In this present state of grace
I saw the wall capsize
And through the nights

They fell into the swelling tide and

Let them eat cake for our mistakes
And this present state of grace
I offered here

So let's sing goodbye to Au Lang Syne
The carpet swept behind
We're all passengers, making turns
Towards the coming great divide

The true prophet never spoke
He just smiled and saw the joke
And this present state of grace
I offered here

'Cause only life, yeah, only life
Has loneliness to sell
So celebrate, yeah, live your life
Live it and raise hell

I said, the true prophet never spoke
He just smiled and saw the joke
And this present state of grace
We creatures leave, alright

Yes, this present state of grace
We creatures leave
