That'll Be the Day - Streetlight Manifesto

And it’s too late to leave this life behind

everybody’s speaking using words they can’t define

and it’s not my choice but i embrace it nonetheless

you brag of your indecency like a monkey beats its chest

you brag of your indecency like a monkey beats its chest

and i don’t care who you are or what you’ve done

everybody equals out when all the songs are sung

we will sing them loud and we will sing them until we pass

you’re shattering our innocence like a bullet through a glass

you’re shattering our innocence like a bullet through a glass

so hey: i don’t care if you go now or if you stay

oh your back is bleeding, you’re bleeding on me

that’ll be the day when the sun falls down

the angels may weep but i’ll hear no sounds but hey

i take that back i won’t stop singing when i’m dead

i’ll sing from the great beyond, i will echo in your head

and if you think taking your life will set you free

you’ve got something to learn, it’s called humility

you’ve got something to learn, it’s called humility

so hey: i don’t care if you go now or if you stay

oh your back is bleeding, you’re bleeding on me

that’ll be the day when the sun falls down

the angels may weep but i’ll hear no sounds but hey

gone!

everybody’s crying

now you’re gone

and everybody’s missing you: from apathy to sympathy

this new found love is new to me

and i can hear you laughing in your grave

everyone’s forgiven

now we’re saved

every single sin absolved

what’s the point denying

when we all know we are lying to ourselves (and you can’t keep that smile off

your face)

hey: i don’t care if you go now or if you stay

oh your back is bleeding, you’re bleeding on me

that’ll be the day when the sun falls down

the angels may weep but i’ll hear no sounds but hey

hey: i don’t care if you go now or if you stay

oh your back is bleeding, you’re bleeding on me

that’ll be the day when the sun falls down

the angels may weep but i’ll hear no sounds but hey
