Glory Days Lyrics - Let It Reign - Carl Barat

It wasn't thunder, or a shot across the bows, 

That was blood, my friend, and you're in for it now 

When the whip cracks, that's your calling card, 

For your brothers and the boys doing press-ups in the yard 

Glory days, glory days, 

You threw them all away, 

You should have known better, 

You should have known better 

When the cock crows at the break of dawn, 

It should be crying freedom, but it's nothing but a yawn 

Don't touch me - you're a marked man now, 

You can say goodbye to the last gang in town 

Glory days, glory days, 

You threw them all away, 

You should have known better, 

You should have known better (x2) 

And we told your girl you wished you were there, 

There were hands everywhere, she was too drunk to care, 

And we miss you, when we're out on the town, 

While you're doing yours at the pleasure of the crown 

And the victim of what you did 

Was just talked out of a suicide bid, 

And the girls scream, "you'll get yours yet!" 

We all saw the footage, it was up on the net 

Glory days, glory days, 

You threw them all away, 

You should have known better, 

You'd better forget her 

Glory days, glory days, 

You threw them all away, 

You should have known better, 

You should have known better
