Freedom Bridge Lyrics - On The Impossible Past - The Menzingers

Amy was a waitress at The Fire Street Grill 

Up route 611 she was slaving for the pill 

Oxy's got her pupils pinned up 

A junkie centerfold 

With grey hairs and a death wish 

She was 22 years old 

Had it all 

Took the fall 

Had it all 

Took the fall 

Specialist Jeg, a much more honest man than you 

Came back from the desert where he never found the truth 

Now he screeches tires, fills his head with alcohol 

While the morbid brown faces hang like portraits on the wall 

Had it all 

He took the fall 

Had it all 

They took it all 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The new guard they took my sister 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The old guard they took my brother away 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The same greed it took our parents 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The west wall it took us with it 

McTiernan was a good ol' boy, he cheated and he skimmed 

"A favor for a favor, it can't be called a sin" 

Some may see it different, and some don't see at all 

When the papers started calling he closed his eyes and took the fall 

Had it all 

Took the fall 

Had it all 

Took the fall 

Now we're standing on the ledge 

And we're looking at the ground 

I feel my body breaking on the asphalt, hear the sound 

Red and blue lights screaming saying, 

"Step up off that ledge" 

So we wrap our hearts up in our heads 

And take the fall instead 

Had it all 

Took the fall 

Had it all 

Took the fall 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The new guard they took my sister 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The old guard they took my brother away 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The same greed it took our parents 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The west wall it took us with it 

Something happened on the way to hell, 

The west wall it took us with it
