Walk All The Days - Black 47

I never think it

Would end up this way

As I lay on the ground

And silently prayed

For God’s intervention

My soul to save

Who the hell is the saint of lost causes?

Could see by their eyes

My time it wasn’t long

Reporters inquired why my vest wasn’t on

My partner was crying

For me to stay strong

The sirens seemed to grow quieter

Walk all the days

Just to stagger at night

A pension at twenty

If all goes all right

To the junkies, the yuppies, ice-t, and the whores

I bid you a slán agus beannacht

It seemed that the shooter

Was barely fifteen

Already, his life had been stripped of all dreams

The crack, and the gats

Make for one hectic scene

Life’s never seemed any cheaper

I’ll always remember

The words that he said

Over and over, they ring though my head

«Go ahead, shoot me!

I’m already dead!»

I see there’s more than one victim

Walk all the days

Just to stagger at night

A pension at twenty

If all goes a-right

To the junkies, them yuppies, ice-t, and the whores

I bid you a slán agus beannacht

On the day of the funeral

They all would be there

The TV, the papers, that scumbag, the mayor

They’ll tell all your family

Their grief is shared

Next week, you’re going to be forgotten

To my friends, I say

Goin' out for a drink

«Don't give a fuck

What the hypocrites think!»

Belly up to the bar

Your glasses all click

A toast to your fallen brother

Walk all the days

Just to stagger at night

A pension at twenty

If all goes a-right

To the junkies, the yuppies, ice-t, and the whores

I bid you a slán agus beannacht

Walk all the days

Just to stagger at night

A pension at twenty

If all goes a-right

To the junkies, them yuppies, ice-t, and the whores

I bid you a slán agus beannacht
