Lyrics
THE DAYS HAVE GONE AGAINST US
(Timothy Brickley & David Rheins)
Here it is again, the inevitable end.
Roll tears, pout mouth, shut up and get out.
Hurl our world away with words,
why and why and cry and cry.
The days have gone against us.
The days have gone against us.
Don’t know what tomorrow brings, my day is packed with little things.
Get up, eat up, wash up and get out and
wander ‘round with people milling
‘round and ‘round and up and down.
The days have gone against us.
The days have gone against us.
Work your job near every day, to earn and spend and pay and pay
Freedom is a funny thing, sometimes it don’t mean anything.
Everybody comes and goes, everybody wants to know
what it’s all about in words that rhyme and make you want to dance.
Work your spirit to the bone, then they drag your lame ass home
The days have gone against us.
The days have gone against us.
Here it is again, the inevitable end.
