Requiem For A Dying Song Lyrics - Float - Flogging Molly

There's a government whip cracked across your back 

Where the order of the day is don't listen, attack 

See the blood run down in your bushwhack town 

Revolution is the gimmick of a joke less clown 

Where the body's just yelling for the tax man's gun 

Talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say 

Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way 

And requiem for a dying song 

With a shimmy and a shank from a futile war 

With the sun that lights the day 

Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame 

With you my love, with you my love 

With you I will return 

And requiem for a dying song 

Got the barrel by the face should the order release 

Should the bullet in your pocket turn away and retreat 

See the terror in the eye of a bloodshot child 

Only bubble in his belly and the promise of lies 

Operation, liberation, tell me, you can decide 

Oh, talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say 

Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way 

Requiem for a dying song 

With a shimmy and the shank from a futile war 

With the sun that lights the day 

Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame 

But with you my love, with you my love 

With you I will return 

And requiem for a dying song 

Agony from every corner on every street 

Act like he lost himself over bitterness 

Explode, explode 

There's a government whip cracked across your back 

Where the order of the day is don't listen, attack 

Oh, talk, don't talk if you've nothing to say 

Walk, don't walk if your feet don't know the way 

Requiem for a dying song 

With a shimmy and the shank from a futile war 

With the sun that lights the day 

Breaks the darkness and the powers of another great shame 

But with you my love, with you my love 

With you I will return 

And requiem for a dying song 

With you my love 

With you I will return 

And requiem for a dying song
