Lyrics
It’s all so temporary Life’s work, don’t play that way Life’s more than cash and carry All your guns, to your grave Is it too much to carry? Is it too much to ask you why? I have a sinking feeling I know why I have a sinking feeling I know Born to an insensitive fool You’ve been damned by You’re scared When a strong man cries Is when a strong man dies Raised up in a town that’s 80 proof Shotgun shells under every roof -- every jail Didn’t learn a lot from public schools All our books went off to wars -- they could sell Is it too much to carry? Is it too much to run and hide? And what's too much to bury? Is it too much to ask you why? I have a sinking feeling I know why I have a sinking feeling I know Swore you an impossible dream You’ve been damned by You swear That when a strong man cries Is when a strong man dies You’re scared That when a strong man cries Is when a strong man dies But a strong man cries A strong man cries Just look into this strong man’s eyes Look into a strong man’s eyes Look into a strong man's eyes Raised up in a town that’s 80 proof Shotgun shells under every roof Bloody hell
