Bitter Uprising Lyrics - Singles - The Classic Crime

If you listen to the sound of hope 

In the children's voices asking questions 

You'll know how blindness is a blessing 

But I know your type, you're always right 

Your tongue controls your mind 

But I guess life's the lesson 

If they said forty years I would die before 

I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears 

And now the time has come to cut our tongues out 

And commit ourselves as you did in your memory 

We'll tear down the walls and let them know 

We could have it all, we could have some hope 

This city could be ours by nightfall 

Do you hear the war drums beating? 

Are you truly happy doing nothing, darling? 

I need to find the center 

Because love is something right 

It's not cooked up overnight 

In sticky situations you try 

But less is more forever 

If they said forty years, I would die before 

I let them take the love that I have paid for with my tears 

And now the time has come to cut our tongues out 

And commit ourselves as you did in your memory 

We'll tear down the walls and let them know 

We could have it all, we could have some hope 

This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall 

We'll tear down the walls and let them know 

We could have it all, we could have some hope 

This city could be ours by nightfall 

The minute I was born, you stole my heart 

The minute I was born, you stole my heart 

The minute I was born, you stole my heart 

The minute I was born, the minute I was born 

Tear down the walls and let them know 

We could go all night, we could just stay home 

This city could be ours by nightfall, nightfall 

We'll tear down the walls and let them know 

We could have it all, we could have some hope 

This city could be ours by nightfall
