These are the ghosts that I half believed Guns and liquor and the carnival freak But then one day the whole world shook And I got arrested for stealin' a look And the glad nation's death song sings And the glad nation's death song sings And I wanna hear you sing I wanna hear you Hear you sing Well, they dragged me down to the debtor's jail Where no one cried 'cause the drinks were free And there I met you, you were passin' the hat Sayin' give to the memory of a long gone dream And the glad nation's death song sings And the glad nation's death song sings And I wanna hear you sing I wanna hear you Hear you sing ♪ This is the sound of one hand clappin' This is the sound of one man laughin' Sayin' we are lucky, yeah, lucky is us 'Cause behind these bars we've been stuck And the glad nation's death song sings And the glad nation's death song sings And the glad nation's death song sings And the glad nation's death song sings And I wanna hear you sing I wanna hear you Hear you sing
