lyrics

Inheritance

I know it wasn't getting any easier fighting to keep the house.
But short ladder flights and the E.R.were reasons to let it get away,
but that pride wouldn't get away from you.

It's a story of brick and mortar taken weekly from round the corner.
It's the cracks in the concrete of our skin as the lessons set in.
A book for blue jackets, your stories of war, bent rusty nails on the floor.

I still hold onto the tones of your voice singing
'what are we waiting on' and 'fire down below.'
The history was lost on me as a kid but crept in my bones.

I don’t need the promise of a ghost.
A hand on my shoulder…
I don’t need the promise of a ghost.

So everyone’s divided. They argue over 'who is owed what' these days.
We all have ways of dealing but Jesus Christ there has got to be some better way

I sit on the back porch singing
'what are we waiting on' and 'fire down below.'
The history passed on to me as a kid, it crept in my bones.
I still hold onto the sound of your voice.

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
