Drunken Lullabies Lyrics

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Have blown us all to hell
What savior rests while on his cross we die
While forgotten freedom burns
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
To the bigot and the gun

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I watch and stare as Rosin's eyes
Turn a darker shade of red
And the bullet with this sniper lie
In their bloody gutless cell
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
Through bars these men made steel
Is it a great or little thing we fought
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

Ah, but maybe it's the way you were taught
Or maybe it's the way we fought
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
Though there is nothing left to gain
But for the banshee that stole the grave
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

I sit in and dwell on faces past
Like memories seem to fade
No color left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learnt
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
Shall beat a new found flame

Must it take a life for hateful eyes
To glisten once again
'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

'Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies, singin' drunken lullabies

What is the Meaning of Drunken Lullabies?

Ah, let's dive into the frothy pint of poetic brilliance that is this lyrical masterpiece. 🍻 It's a rollicking lament on humanity's cyclical nature of conflict and hatred, all served up with a side of Irish punk. The song questions why we can't seem to learn from our past mistakes, always finding ourselves in the "same old mess." Its heart beats with an earnest plea for unity and understanding, yet it's all wrapped in a catchy tune that could easily be belted out at your local pub. So raise your glass high, folks! Here's to hoping we can break free from our drunken lullabies and find some harmony... before last call. 🌍 #IrishPunk #SocialCommentary #Unity #LearnFromHistory
