Us Of A Lesser God Lyrics - Float - Flogging Molly

There's a breeze that's blowin' in from the land 

Instead of salt air all we breathe in is sand 

Crippled the cloud that once brought the rain 

Good job, now we'll never see our coasts again 

But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods 

Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched 

But those of us, those of us who forget where we're from 

Create now this hell where no devil could spawn 

Take me back, take me back 

To the way life used to be 

A whisper's now sayin' what words used to speak 

Starve must the child, hungry sex on TV 

For no act of contrition will pardon the soul 

The damage now glistens, see how it glows 

But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods 

Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched 

Those of us, those of us who forget where we're from 

Create now this hell where no devil could spawn 

Take me back, take me back 

To the way life used to be 

Yesterday is better than it is today 

And today will be better, tomorrow they say 

We don't want what you know but we know what we want 

That's live and let live, we're all different that counts 

But those of us, those of us, us of lesser gods 

Won't eat till we're hungry, won't drink till we're parched 

And those of us, those of us who forget where we're from 

Create now this hell where no devil could spawn 

Dark is the shallow man, proud without pride 

Worn out comes the welcome from a truth that never lies 

Weep now for the tear, cold on the face 

So come down from your heaven, Lord 

Let me show you hell on earth 

Take me back 

To the way life's never been
