This Present State of Grace

In this present state of grace

I hold my head up high

Though the water damage froze

Another flood will soon be by

Here and now is all we'll be

So it's this present state of grace I offer thee

Welcome home to the men

And the women who defend

Back to their lives and the lies

Shat on them by government

Through the barbs and the pokes

And the ones we'd like to choke

It's this present state of grace I offer thee

In this present state of grace

A poor man robbed me blind

Though I offered him the cash

He said 'don't insult my pride'

To each their own

We're just flesh and bone

An this present state of grace I offer thee

In this present state of grace

I saw the wall capsize

And through the banks they fell

Into the swelling tide

Let them eat cake

For our mistakes

And this present state of grace I offer thee

So let's sing goodbye to Auld Lang Syne

Under the carpet sweep behind

Where passengers making turns

Towards the coming great divide

The true prophet never spoke

He just smiles and saw the joke

And this present state of grace I offer thee

'Cause only life, yeah only life has loneliness to sell

So celebrate, yeah live your life, live it and raise hell

The true prophet never spoke

He just smiled and saw the joke

And this present state of grace we creatures need

Yeah, it's this present state of grace we creatures need
