The Black Crowes - Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution Lyrics

Cut a rusty engine outta sawdust town
Better deal with the man who shook 'em all down so
Put a little grease on my axle now, yeah

I been from Antioch to Alcatraz
I can roll you one from an empty bag, but let's
Take it easy to avoid any snags

[Chorus]
Goodbye daughters of the revolution
Open your eyes and see your solution
Hallelujah come join the jubilee

Keep on runnin' through the gates of the city
To give up now would be such a pity
Don't you wanna see the ship go down with me?

Well,
I'll come to you hungry I'll come to you sore
I'll come round midnight to your back door
I'll drag my tail across your floor

Gonna run you ragged till you act your age
Gonna circle the wagons gonna storm your stage
If we all plead guilty will the charges be the same?

[Chorus]

Keep on runnin' through the gates of the city
To give up now would be such a pity
Don't you wanna see the ship go down with me?

I've been restless, baby, I've been wild
Caught up in a fever dream
Well, come on and save me, child

[Chorus]

Keep on runnin' through the gates of the city
To give up now would be such a pity
Don't you wanna see the ship go down with me?
Don't you wanna see the ship go down with me?
Don't you wanna see the ship go down with me?
Don't you wanna see the ship go down?
Don't you wanna see the ship go down?
