The Thermals - When We Were Alive lyrics

We closed our minds, we shut out traps We built a house, the house collapsed We sold the wood and bought the farm Now we got a place in the dirt in the backyard We were stronger alive, we always smote our foes Won in a landslide, ran unopposed Piss drunk on power and cheap wine We used to waste the world just to waste our time Yeah, just to waste our time Now the spirit is strong, but the flesh is weak d**h is long, the living are laughing Spit on our grave, we don't mind We're bad as ash, you should've seen us in our prime Yeah, you should've seen us in our prime When we were the earth When we were alive When we were the rules When we were the ends Yeah we were fools But I still had my friends We couldn't stay We didn't try We didn't cry When we were alive When we were alive
