paroles de chanson The High Life - Tom McRae & The Standing Band

The High Life
It seemed like such a good idea
Stake your claim boys and you can make it here
But now we're down in the mud
The quick and not enough
Are both bleeding
And yeah tomorrow's
Long gone sold
For a song
That I'm stealing
We can light
A fire now
With all that's
Left to burn
And warm our hands on failed plans
And new leaves left unturned
In the high life, the high life
The high life, the high life
Look around now tell me all's not lost
Take the coin boys from where your heart once was
Now heaven is lying empty, and all the devil's here
We can drink our bellies full
But never quench the first
And we can burn the spinning wheels
But when you're cursed, you're cursed
With a taste for the high life, the high life
The high life, the high life
Shut up all my life
I've been hearing the voices
Of the silver spoon
Of the perfect smile
Of your gilded lives
I know now in your veins
There will only be blue blood
Come on, cut me now you will find
That I bleed the blackest bile
I know now none of your kind
Is ever on my side
So the rich stay the rich
And the rest forever be denied
