Lyrics

I need six good friends to carry my casket down the aisle of that church
I am sorry to inform you mother
Bravery and guns and bombs. And gassing children (be)cause their folks were wrong
I bear the flag in the name of the father

So easy to judge
So easy to judge when youve been judged
And in your darkest hour
Theres no one left to blame

When darkness drops its shroud on me, like angels spreading new disease
Nobody should have to suffer
And all the mistakes a lifetime can make, and all the money you can spend or save
Theres so much more that life could offer

So easy to judge
So easy to judge when youve been judged
And in your darkest hour
Theres no one left to blame
So easy to trust
So easy to trust in god we trust
And in your darkest hour
Theres no one left to blame

We are flesh and bones but we can carry on
Morning dawns in the city, life goes on
Stars come down like burning embers
Perfectly, like I remember
It will be ok. It will be ok.

So easy to judge
So easy to judge when youve been judged
And in your darkest hour
Theres no one left to blame
So easy to trust
So easy to trust in god we trust
And in your darkest hour
Theres no one left to blame
