High Hopes

High Hopes - The Milk Carton Kids

The letter said it all

We're shipping out

I know they got it wrong without a doubt

The war ain't over there

It's here with me

The battle of the bloody century

What is going here

What becomes the lot of us

I thought I would complain dear

When joining with the great circus

But I've got high I've got high

I've got high hopes tonight

I got high alright

Settle up your bill the raining shouts

The patter of forsaken voices loud

Lined throughout the pockets of my vest

A greenback skeleton holds in the rest

A symphony of mercy falls upon no deafer ears

I'd look you in the eyes

But I wouldn't recognize your fears

But I've got high I've got high

I've got high hopes tonight

I got high alright
