GREEN DAY - ¡Viva La Gloria! lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Hey Gloria?<br>

Are you standing close to the edge?<br>

Lookout to the setting sun<br>

The brink of your vision<br>

Eternal youth is a landscape of the lies<br>

<br>

The cracks of my skin can prove<br>

As the years can testify<br>

Say your prayers and light a fire we're going to start a war<br>

Your slogan's a gun for hire<br>

It's what we waited for<br>

<br>

Hey Gloria<br>

<br>

This is why we were on the edge<br>

The eight of our lives been drawn to this undying love<br>

<br>

Gloria!Viva La Gloria!<br>

You blast your name in graffiti on the walls (oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh)<br>

Falling through broken glass that's slashing through your spirit<br>

I can hear it like a jilted crowd<br>

<br>

Gloria!Where are you Gloria?<br>

You found a home in all your scars and ammunition<br>

You made your bed in salad days amongst the ruins<br>

Ashes to ashes of our youth<br>

<br>

She smashed her knuckles into winter (Gloria)<br>

As autumns wind fades into black<br>

She is the saint of all the sinners (Gloria)<br>

The one that's fallen through the cracks<br>

So don't put away your burning light<br>

<br>

Gloria!Where are you Gloria?<br>

Don't lose you faith to your lost na¯vete<br>

Weather the storm and don't look back on last November<br>

When your banners were burning down<br>

<br>

Gloria!Viva La Gloria!<br>

Send me your amnesty down to the broken hearted<br>

Bring us the season that we always will remember<br>

Don't let the bonfires go out<br>

<br>

So Gloria<br>

<br>

Send out your message of the light that shadows in the night<br>

Gloria where's your undying love?<br>

Tell me the story of your life ...<br>

(Your life!)<br>

<BR><BR>
