Songtexte Anthem for Doomed Youth - The Libertines
Here′s
a
story
about
the
rules
of
death
and
glory
To
be
learned
by
heart
by
all
children
of
men
It's
the
hour
of
the
morning
on
the
day
after
the
dawning
When
the
sun
they
said
would
never
set
finally
set
again
Was
it
Cromwell
or
Orwell
who
first
led
you
to
the
stairwell
Which
leads
only
forever
to
kingdom
come
Rushed
alone
by
guiding
hands
Whispers
of
the
promise
land
They
wished
you
luck
and
handed
you
a
gun
Life
could
be
so
handsome
Life
could
be
so
gay
We′re
going
nowhere
But
nowhere,
nowhere's
on
our
way
In
the
pub
that
night
Racking
out
the
lines
of
shite
Putting
to
right
All
of
the
world's
great
wrongs
Yes
we
thought
that
they
were
brothers
Then
they
half-murdered
each
other
Then
they
did
a
karaoke
turn
And
murdered
our
best
song
Told
the
governor′s
wife
About
the
last
night
of
his
life
She
turned
away
in
tears
Called
you
a
liar
Where
are
all
the
old
dreams
now?
The
batallion,
once
so
proud
Lost
in
some
old
song
and
hanging
on
the
old
barbedwire
Life
could
be
so
handsome
It′s
so
good
to
be
okay
We're
going
nowhere
But
nowhere,
nowhere′s
on
our
way
Nowhere
in
the
institutions
Did
they
teach
that
revolution
Was
something
that
could
ever
come
to
pass
Oh
we
tried
one,
once
before
Was
the
king's
head
on
the
floor
And
we
got
booted
out
the
boozer
Cause
someone
smashed
the
glass
Life
could
be
so
handsome
Life
could
be
okay
We′re
going
nowhere
But
nowhere,
nowhere's
on
our
way
Life
could
be
so
handsome
It′s
all
gonna
be
okay
We're
going
nowhere
Cause
nowhere,
nowhere's
on
our
way
Nowhere′s
on
our
way
