The Last Rose

We babble on
Like nothin's wrong
We'll battle on
'Till it's all gone
It's a story with no glory
The last rose fading black

God disappears
When preachin' fear
Like lightnin' spears
To our ears
It's a good book
If ya don't look
Give your money
For that honey
The last rose fading black

Will we rise through the smoke
From the lies the burnin' vote
Will we sing a chorus note
Save the last rose from fading black

When life's a gun
It wounds everyone
Shoot skin they shun
Race can't be won
These are sad days
The way the flag waves
All the caged ones
All the murdered sons
Senseless war
Blood for oil whores
The last rose fading black

Will we rise through the smoke
From the lies the burnin' vote
Will we sing a chorus note
Save the last rose from fading black

Oceans rise
We can't disguise
Earth will win
Despite our sin
The last rose fading black
The last rose fading black
The last rose no turnin' back
The last rose
