Flogging Molly - Drunken Lullabies (Lyrics)

Artist: Flogging Molly
Song: Drunken Lullabies
Album: Drunken Lullabies



Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Have blown us all to hell
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Forgotten freedom burns
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
to the bigot and the gun

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I watch and stare as Rosin`s eyes
Turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie
In their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Through these bars of men made steel
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

Ah, but maybe it`s the way you were taught
Or maybe it`s the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though there is nothing left to gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I sit in and dwell on faces past
Like memories seem to fade
No colour left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Shall beat a new found flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies
Singin' drunken lullabies

I've seen them a couple of months ago live here in the Netherlands...

They are live even better!

Btw, i started to make videos again.

I had 6 videos.. But youtube took a couple down because of author crap (slipknot and ill nino).

But check my channel for more!

you just can't listen to this music without tapping your foot at the very least. ;-)

[jwcastledine]

fucking brilliant song.

[MrSoloFLo]

@MrMatthewUnger game was amazinggg..



[Fredriklien]

They are coming to sweeeeedeeeeeen! :D :D

[Ikki1604]

@simonnnnnnn1994 The Mahones, The Tossers, The Dreadnoughts, The Pogues, Flatfoot 56, Real McKenzies. Also, if you like traditional folk music you can't go wrong with the Dubliners. All of those bands should be pretty easy to find and give you a solid start. And there is a good chance your local punk scene has a band or two like this. Happy listening

[MusicAgain]

I'm going to celebrate Saint Patrick's day in Dublin this year - I'm gonna sing this on repeat! :D You gotta love that chorus :D

[MrMatthewUnger]

Three people never played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4. ( ' L' )

[bario12349]

Take a drink if you lost some one to the limeys. Hell take'n if you didn't

[simonnnnnnn1994]

does anyone knows other bands like these?

besides the dropkick murphy's

[aliencheesemaker]

@TheRosenka64 Awesome stuff but we can thank the Pogues for pioneering the genre of celtic-punk. Much credit must go to Shane MacGowan

[MrAlverez]

The Mahones, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly.  Genius.
