The Torch — текст песни (dropkick murphys)

Wash away all the lines on your face that show how you`ve aged it`s a long way down
your back`s been broken you can`t make the rounds the tables are turned as the litany goes...
you`re a rotten old man who`ll be covered in dirt on your knees
and pray to the maker that caused you to bleed

Chorus:
Turn back the hand on the clock
you`re a bitter old man who`s done nothing
but work your hands to the bone on the assembly lines
you`ve grown cold to the touch of the ones that you love
ignorance is something you can`t over come but you`ve passed it on down
and that`s something much worse for a bitter young man...
is now taking the torch

Silent scorn - you`ve taken it out on the ones you adore Inside rage
they`ve left you before but they`ll come back again
they`ll pray for you with all their love
but this time your indifference just can`t be excused Forced amends
well it`s something you`ll die with but it goes on for them...
for a bitter young man...has now taken the torch...
