Glad Nation's Death Song Lyrics - Walkabouts

These are the ghosts that I half believed 

Guns & liquor & the carnival freak 

But then one day the whole world shook 

And I got arrested for stealin' a look 

And the glad nation's death song sings X2 

And I wanna hear you sing 

And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing 

Well they dragged me down to the deptor's jail 

Where no one cried 'cause the drinks were free 

And there I met you, you were passin' the hat 

Sayin' give to the memory of a long gone dream 

And the glad nation's death song sings X2 

And I wanna hear you sing 

And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing 

This is the sound of one hand clappin' 

This is the sound of one man laughin' 

Sayin' we are lucky, yeah lucky is us 

'Cause behind these bars we've been stuck 

And the glad nation's death song sings X4 

And I wanna hear you sing 

And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing
