DRUNKEN LULLABY - THE BULLET KINGS

I’ll tell you of a tale
How the working man has failed
The victim of a drunken lullaby
The long lost drinking days
Spent in a drunken haze
And the landlord sat and laughed and watched him cry

Chorus
Your a rebel without a reason
Your life passed before your empty glass
You took the landlords brew
Took everything he knew
Now your lying in the gutter on your arse

Well you’ve been drinking all day long,
singing drunken rebel songs.
Running with the others in the pack.
Now your out there on your own,
and you sing them all alone,
stranded on the pavement on your back

chorus

Twenty years of fame
And twenty years of blame
Forty years spent drinking to excess
The limelight’s fading glow
That says its time to go
Into a world that’s gone and left you in a mess

chorus

You made your final bow
Nothing matters now
The people line the streets as you pass by
Some bow their heads in grief
Others bow them with relief
The landlords till stopped ringing when you died
