Glad Nation's Death Song Lyrics - The Walkabouts

Glad Nation's Death Song
These are the ghosts that I half believedGuns & liquor & the carnival freakBut then one day the whole world shookAnd I got arrested for stealin' a lookAnd the glad nation's death song sings X2
And I wanna hear you singAnd I wanna hear you . . . . hear you singWell they dragged me down to the deptor's jailWhere no one cried 'cause the drinks were freeAnd there I met you, you were passin' the hatSayin' give to the memory of a long gone dreamAnd the glad nation's death song sings X2
And I wanna hear you singAnd I wanna hear you . . . . hear you singThis 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 stuckAnd the glad nation's death song sings X4
And I wanna hear you singAnd I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing
