Hope

It's another eight years of the same bloody fears
As the engine, it grinds to a halt
No more of this rhetoric, our words they are septic
There's blood on the hands of us all

So let's tune ourselves out, dig our heads in the ground
We'll watch as the tide drifts away
Drop hold of your life, kiss your beautiful wife
It's gonna all end with a punch

Ho, I said hope is still a shout away
A shout away, like it was yesterday
I said hope is still a shout away
And away we shout once more

"There's no black without tan", said the fiery old man
With a vengeance he'll never let go
His mother and father, their parents before them
All dreamt of a place to call home

But hope is the killer
To those who died willing
May they rest in their peace, we now break
Oh, now hope is none-the-wiser
It breaks bread with the mindless
There's no ghosts, only bodies at the grave
At the grave

Ho, I said hope is still a shout away
A shout away, like it was yesterday
I said hope is still a shout away
And away we shout once more

Well, maybe I'm wrong but I've tried all along
To make sense of this hell up above
Our pockets still empty, the virus still spreading
The joy of this madness behold

So save the last sins, we had none to begin
For as mortals we baptize the soul
There's always a day when you hear someone say
"Wake me up, tell me it's a joke"
It's no joke

Ho, I said hope is still a shout away
A shout away, like it was yesterday
I said hope is still a shout away
And away we shout once more

Ho-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Ho-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

I said hope, still a shout away
I said hope, still a shout away
I said hope, still a shout away
And away we shout once more

Once more
Ah, I say hope is still a shout away
And away we shout once more
