Another State of Grace

(Hey!)
 ♪
 (Hey!)
 They called it the troubles 'cause it wasn't quite a war
 To admit that it was would make it harder to ignore
 History gave us courage, whiskey made us fight
 Back when blood was thicker, back when blood was tight
 (Hey!)
 Here comes the hallelujah man with free love, guns and dope
 The last Irishman in Brooklyn just went up in fire and smoke
 Bind our sons to exile to serve the Motherland
 Keep us all indebted and afraid of Uncle Sam
 I couldn't love you any more, couldn't love you any less
 I'll cross my heart and hope to die in another state of grace
 In another state of grace
 I'll cross my heart and hope to die in another state of grace
 (Hey!)
 Democracy is coming on a sea of alcohol
 From construction sites to shipyards, you better sing along
 You better love your family, you better earn your pay
 'Cause democracy is coming, that's the order of the day
 I couldn't love you any more, couldn't love you any less
 I'll cross my heart and hope to die in another state of grace
 In another state of grace
 I'll cross my heart and hope to die in another state of grace

 (Hey!)
 Another lost loved one full of tales of home
 The heart beats in a fist of a spirit never broken
 Swinging out at memories that we will not forget
 There'll be no sweet surrender when blood and soil connect
 I couldn't love you any more, couldn't love you any less
 I'll cross my heart and hope to die in another state of grace
 In another state of grace
 (Hey!)
 I'll cross my heart and hope to die in another state of grace
