Lyrics

Bilingual
It's all so temporary
ย
Life's work, don't play that way
ย
Life's more than cash and carry
All your guns, to your grave
ย
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
ย
Raised up in a town that's 80 proof
ย
Shotgun shells under every roof, every jail
ย
Didn't learn a lot from public schools
All our books went off to wars, they could sell
ย
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
ย
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
ย
But a strong man cries
ย
A strong man cries
ย
Just look into this strong man's eyes
ย
Look into a strong man's eyes
Look into a strong man's eyes
ย
Look into a strong man's eyes
Raised up in a town that's 80 proof
(Look into a strong man's eyes)
Shotgun shells under every roof
Bloody hell
