The Best Revenge

from The Anthemic Pandemic by Murphy's Kids

lyrics

I knew you in the trenches in a war we couldn’t win.
We were loggin’ miles but we were losing inches on a fuse without an end.
We could talk about it; the joy and the tears.
We could talk about the blood and you’d smile and doubt it
When I say my greatest hope is my greatest fear.
That you live well and that you live to tell
The story of your ups and downs and why I don’t see you around.
It’s a hard sell in a living hell.
I’m so mad that I could choke! Here is hopin’ that you live well.
We lost the best of us face down in the rain.
Memories a tricky thing and it seems so senseless that the blood would leave a stain.
When we get together over a couple beers
We’d remember the bond, how we were tied and tethered
And how my greatest hope became my greatest fear.

The war is over and we made it home.
This ain’t no ticker-tape parade.
I still hear voices that come in soft and low
That whisper about the mistakes I’ve made.
Even after all this toil. Even after all these years.
Even after looking you in the eye and watching you die
My greatest hope is still my greatest fear.

Murphy's Kids are here to have a blast and to leave everyone from the front row to the back of the bar tired, sweaty and grinning from ear to ear... and they've been doing so up with their blend of reggae, punk, ska and psychedelic rock since 1999.
