the upstart crows - ballad of broken bottles lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, you took everything with no regret
oh, broken bones and a lit cigarette
i am eating copper coins for dinner
in the hopes to make me thinner
so when it’s time to see my mother
she can look me in the eye

[chorus]
and when the time has come upon us
and the lord looks down in disgust
well, i’ll count the grains of sand
if that’s what it takes to be a man
so don’t bother me

[verse 2]
you say i’m your one and only
a kind word and a serpent’s smile
i went to god and trade my soul
to get you all those rings of gold
but it’s never, never enough

[bridge]
i’m goin’ home to georgia
i’m goin’ home where you can’t find me
[verse 3]
oh, please stop laughing in my face
oh, itchy palms and severed straws
i didn’t want to have to do it
but you brought me down to it
and baby, you will see what you bring down on me

[chorus]
and when the time has come upon us
and the lord looks down in disgust
oh, i’ll wrap the chains around my neck
before i set this town awreck
’cause the sinners might be wrong, but i know that i’m right

[outro]
these hands will never be clean again
broken bottles are all that remain
but there’s one thing i gotta say before i go, my dear
i don’t care (that’s right, one more time)
i don’t care
