Lyrics
The Last Brigade
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't want to overthrow the day
There's got to be a better way
Don't want to hurt nobody
I just want to get away
Just want to close my eyes now
Wish the world would go away
This is the last brigade
The world looked into our eyes
And gave us promises and lies
They said we had the future
Look at what that means today
They said we were the future
So long as we played it their way
This is the last brigade
So we're gonna overthrow the day
But there's got to be another way
Now you don't like the system
But what's the system anyway
I don't want to march to any drums
I just want to find my own way
And i'm through with all the hate
This is the last brigade
