Sparks & Fires

lyrics

Sparks and fires fly
Keeping us in line
They don't understand
We are out of time

Liars
Put us in this place
Left us in disgrace

Thunder
Plundering our lives and land
Selling their own brand
Of complicity
But it's not what we need

Liars
Put us in this place
Left us in disgrace

Thunder, Plunder

Can't we all get along
We know we're in the red
Just remember that we didn't make this bed

We're too small to achieve
The levels that we need
To acquire success on which we aim to breed

How did we get it wrong
We've done it all before
Without us you would long ago have hit the floor

Stand up, Sit down
We'll run this house how we want to

Pay with lives what we can't pay back
Cuz the time has passed to correct this fault
We're burdening the kids

As for help from a new resource
Can they bail us out, will they help us now
We're burdening the kids

[Choir] The actions of so few impicated all the others

Sparks and fires fly
Keeping us in line
They don't understand
We are out of time.

And So I Watch You From Afar
by And So I Watch You From Afar

ASIWYFA have released 3 brilliant and equally distinctive albums (and an EP), but this first album is a perfect place to start. Great live band as well, if you haven't heard them yet, get this album. Former Monarchs

Friendship
by The Redneck Manifesto

One of the best bands to come out of Ireland, this is The Redneck Manifesto's last album (to date) and it is bloody brilliant. They don't put a foot wrong. Former Monarchs
