Dropkick Murphys – The Torch Lyrics  Share

From Dropkick Murphys's album: Sing Loud, Sing Proud!

Wash away all the lines on your face that show how you^,ve aged it^,s a long way down
your back^,s been broken you can^,t make the rounds the tables are turned as the litany goes...
you^,re a rotten old man who^,ll be covered in dirt on your knees
and pray to the maker that caused you to bleed

[Chorus:]
Turn back the hand on the clock
you^,re a bitter old man who^,s done nothing
but work your hands to the bone on the assembly lines
you^,ve grown cold to the touch of the ones that you love
ignorance is something you can^,t over come but you^,ve passed it on down
[ The Torch lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/d/dropkick-murphys/torch/ ]
and that^,s something much worse for a bitter young man...
is now taking the torch

Silent scorn - you^,ve taken it out on the ones you adore Inside rage
they^,ve left you before but they^,ll come back again
they^,ll pray for you with all their love
but this time your indifference just can^,t be excused Forced amends
well it^,s something you^,ll die with but it goes on for them...
for a bitter young man...has now taken the torch...
