Wilted Rose Lyrics - The Vanity Project - Vanity Project

I almost cried on the day my country died 

I almost tried to care 

They built a wall to protect them from us all 

We should have left them there 

Revolution is the first to go 

The rest is forced to stay 

Shall I cast this out, this wilted rose? 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no 

Like Pierre Trudeau's walk out in the snow 

Can it be time to leave? 

I spent my youth thinking people spoke the truth 

Now, it's hard to think 

Was I naive to say I do believe 

That none of us should sink? 

They sold us out and they sold us short 

And we're the one's who'll have to pay 

Shall I cast this out, this wilted rose? 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no 

Like Pierre Trudeau's walk out in the snow 

Can it be time to leave? 

Don't go, you know it's all 

The same to me these days 

I swear it's hard to care 

Revolution is the first to go 

The rest is forced to stay 

Shall I cast this out, this wilted rose? 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no 

Like Pierre Trudeau's walk out in the snow 

Can it be time to leave? 

Shall I cast this out, this wilted rose? 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no 

Like Pierre Trudeau's walk out in the snow 

Can it be time to leave? 

Don't go, you know it's all 

The same to me these days 

I swear it's hard to care
