Billy Bragg - There Will Be A Reckoning lyrics

rate me

Somewhere between the midnight

And the cold and empty dawn

I found myself out walking

On the street where I was born

And I keep upon a stranger

To look me in the face

And ask me what I was doing

In this god forsaken place

I don’t need to be forgiven

For something I haven’t done

No fall run in my family

Find the place too soon

You keep this pressure on

Just don’t be surprised

If I keep summing up my dignity

While you’re rughing up my pride

There will be a reckoning

The ...is a vain, spread the poison all across this estate

And a reckoning to, for the politicians too

Left us to this fate

There will be a reckoning

Just a few days later, a man came to my door

To ask me if I thought that

This place was worth fighting for

And do I recognize his reason

I just could not agree

When they told me that my name

Would be my enemy

I don’t need to be forgiven

For something I haven’t done

No fall run in my family

Find the place too soon

You keep this pressure on

Just don’t be surprised

If I keep summing up my dignity

While you’re rughing up my pride

There will be a reckoning

The ...is a vain, spread the poison all across this estate

And a reckoning to, for the politicians too

Left us to this fate

There will be a reckoning

There will be a reckoning

There will be a reckoning

There will be a reckoning.
