[Verse 1]
G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
Em
To glisten once again
C
Five hundred years like Gelignite
Em               D
Have blown us all to hell
G
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Em
Forgotten freedom burns
C
Has the Shepard led his lambs astray
Em                D
To the bigot and the gun
 
[Chorus]
        C               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
   C            D
To glisten once again
         G       C             Bm        Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
       G       D    G
Singin drunken lullabies

[Verse 2]
   G
I watch and stare as Rosin's eyes
         Em
Turn a darker shade of red
         C
And the bullet with this sniper lie
           Em            D
In their bloody gutless cell
          G
Must we starve on crumbs from long ago
         Em
Through bars these men made steel
         C
Is it a great or little thing we fought
            Em                   D
Knelt the conscience blessed to kill
 
[Chorus]
        C               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
   C            D
To glisten once again
         G       C             Bm        Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
       G       D    G
Singin drunken lullabies
 
[Bridge]
        C              D         G
Ah, but maybe it's the way we're taught
   C              D      G
Or maybe it's the way we fought
      C           D             G        C
But a smile never grins without tears to begin
                   D          G
For each kiss is a cry we all lost
       C                  G
Though nothing is left to gain
            C                      D
But for the banshee that stole the grave
         G       C             E
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
       G       D    G
Singin drunken lullabies

[Verse 3]
   G
I sit in and dwell on faces past
        Em
Like memories seem to fade
      C
No color left but black and white
     Em                  D
And soon will all turn grey
                G
But may these shadows rise to walk again
       Em
With lessons truly learnt
           C
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
       Em               D
Shall beat a new found flame
 
[Chorus]
        C               G
Must it take a life for hateful eyes
   C            D
To glisten once again
         G       C             Bm        Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
       G       D    G
Singin drunken lullabies
         G       C             Bm        Em
Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
        G       D    G
Singin drunken lullabies
