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
