The Band Of Heathens - What's This World lyrics

rate me

We got mouths to feed and boots to fill

Pills for sleep and dreams of dollar bills

We clean our guns while we turn our cheeks

We're like angels and demons and dogs in heat

Baby raise your glass but don't cut your teeth

Just show your sweet tooth grin to everyone you meet

Tell me what's this world that we're clinging to

It's all for one none for two

Pierce your skin with a heart tattoo

And tell me what's this world that we're clinging to

I see floods every Spring and water for sale

All the drunks in the tank trying to throw their bail

You know I lost an old friend like a thief in the night

The days done took the light out of her eyes

We got to change our ways every New Years' Day

Just give me one last midnight before I gotta pay

Tell me what's this world that we're clinging to

It's all for one none for two

Pierce your skin with a heart tattoo

And tell me what's this world that we're clinging to

I see highway miles are gonna pave the way

Billboards digging their roots in our graves

We got debts to pay and all cards are drawn

They'll be paying our dues long after we're gone

Tell me what's this world that we're clinging to

It's all for one none for two

Pierce your skin with a heart tattoo

And tell me what's this world that we're clinging to

It's all for one none for two

Pierce your skin with a heart tattoo

And tell me what's this world that we're clinging to
