lyrics

whistle back to me the worker’s song that made them strong so I can hear their story
it’s a sign of the times when the wishing wells and the church’s bells cannot call us to their sides

this time if I choose I could just slip on a pair of old shoes
could suffer and struggle cuz it’s what I do when the world is cold and cruel
when the world is cold and cruel

well a leech is a leech, when put to skin it’ll suck blood and not even give you warning
but if i put a fire to its back, how long would it hold before lust so bold was trumped by the pain?

this time if I choose I could just slip on a pair of old shoes
could suffer and struggle cuz it’s what I do when the world is cold and cruel
when the world is cold and cruel

how long must I train the sun through the glass upon the leaves for there to spring a flame?
well ears to the ground. how far behind did I fall last night when I melted into the crowd?

this time if I choose I could just slip on a pair of old shoes
could suffer and struggle cuz it’s what I do when the world is cold and cruel
when the world is cold and cruel
if I choose I could just slip on a pair of old shoes
I could suffer and struggle it’s what I do
when the world is cold and cruel
when the world is cold and cruel
