We All Die Young (Oh My Southern Guard Flew West) - Selfish Things

Oh my Southern guard flew West

And summer breathed it’s dying breath

All the children lost their souls

And even god didn’t know which way to go

But hope is lost where hope is found

Don’t know if I’ll be back in town

Trust stranger people with their words

They’ll teach you things you do not deserve

I know I’m something that can change

But I’m sick and tired of stupid games

Now show me you’re ready

Show me your light

Show me your crosses

Show me your fight

'Cuz my God is listening

And he don’t joke around

No she don’t joke around

Oh my Western guard flew South

And when the pilot called they were going down

All the children prayed in bed

While their mothers cried and their fathers bled

But not all colours have their grey

What once was broken has its day

And pain may cause a world of hurt

But you should fight for all you’re worth

And you are dead, but so am I

It’s too bad peace don’t bring back life

Now show me you’re ready

Show me your light

Show your crosses

Show me your fight

'Cuz my god is listening

And he don’t joke around

No she don’t joke around

Now breathe in your anger

Breathe in your truth

Breath in your suffering

Breathe in the news

'Cuz my god is angry

And he don’t joke around

No she don’t joke around

(Wake up)

Show me your ready

Show me your light

Show me your crosses

Show me your fight

'Cuz my god is listening

And he just jokes around

Yeah she just jokes around
