Five Iron Frenzy

Lyrics Lonesome for her heroes Five Iron Frenzy

 574

Lonesome for her heroes


The city's - gentrified
Commitees - mollified
The place I said I'd die
The tenants scraping by
And now the avenue
Rocks class-war deja vu
It swims in high champagne
From selling nature like a retail chain

You would gain the world, but lose your heart
You would bleed the colors from your art
You would strip the life from every verse
You will sell your soul to reimburse

For you would mine it all
For ones and zeroes
And now Denver is
Lonesome for her heroes

Now no on? cane pay rent
'Cause th?y can't afford to live there
A playground for the one-percent
So put the middle class on welfare
Just pour the sparkling wine
Ignore the burning pines
You sold our birthrights
But you made a couple dollar signs

You would gain the world, but lose your heart
You would bleed the colors from your art
You would strip the life from every verse
You will sell your soul to reimburse

For you would mine it all
For ones and zeroes
And now Denver is
Lonesome for her heroes

I saw the last sun set
Die on the star's last shrine
The city was our only hope
To save the columbines
And now the heroes gone
Their city cast to the swine
I saw a future where
The pavement ran to the timberline

You would gain the world, but lose your heart
You would bleed the colors from your art
You would strip the life from every verse
You will sell your soul to reimburse

For you would mine it all
For ones and zeroes
And now Denver is
Lonesome for her heroes

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics LONESOME FOR HER HEROES of FIVE IRON FRENZY is also present in the album Until this shakes apart (2021)
