"Legacy Blues" lyrics

Legacy Blues

Pick up the pieces
And start again
No one remembers
Why or when

Nothing got done, no
Nothing was saved
Hope was deleted
And put back in its grave

Stage-managed show-biz
Chocked whatever was true
Ah, nobody bought it, no
Cause everybody knew

Tears on the bank-cards
Blood on the ground
Whatever your promise was
It sure never was found

Now you're leaving us
Behind with nothing to choose
Ah, spare us your excuses
And your legacy blues
Your legacy blues

Making life better
Ah, was never the game
It was beating each other
Till you all look the same

There's still fear on the high street
There's still blood on the walls
Now you say that you're leaving
And we must pay for it all

Yeah, you leave us behind
With nothing to choose
Ah, spare us your excuses
And your legacy blues
Your legacy blues, yeah

Your legacy blues
Yeah
Well
Your legacy blues
Yeah

Your legacy blues
Blues
Your legacy blues
