Joe Pug - Sketch of a Promised Departure

Heroes Pass Us By

I know how this ends
The worst man you can think of
With a pistol in his hands

You don't fool me once
All this talk of revolution
From a money lender's son

I've been around
I've been around
I've been around long enough
To hear all of the fighting words
I need to

I've been around
I've been around
I've been around long enough
To see through all the things
I need to see through

Heroes pass us by
And we tell them that we love them
Then we murder them in public every time

Children ask us why
But we never have an answer
We just hope that they'll stop asking, by and by

I've been around
I've been around
I've been around long enough
To hear all of the fighting words
I need to

I've been around
I've been around
I've been around long enough
To see through all the things
I need to see through

Even though you've gone away
I still carry you inside, I still carry you inside

I've been around
I've been around
I've been around long enough
To hear all of the fighting words
I need to

I've been around
I've been around
I've been around long enough
To see through all the things
I need
To see through all the things
I need
To see through all the things
I need to see through
