Lyrics
[Intro]
Here's a piece of advice, Billy
Piss off out of here
Start everything afresh and don't look back
There is sod-all left for you here
You are very fucking special
Now piss off before I start to cry
[Verse 1]
Once we built visions on ground we hewed
We dreamt of justice and of men renewed
All people equal in all things
We once were heroes, once were kings
But all great things must come to pass
We know the first will soon be last
And in the ground we may be lain
But a seed is sown to rise again
[Chorus]
So we walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
You show 'em, kidda
Knock 'em dead, Billy
Thanks, Tony
Aye
See ya, sunshine
[Verse 2]
We saw a land where wealth was shared
Each pain relieved, each hunger fed
Each man revered, each tyrant killed
Each soul redeemed, each life fulfilled
From each man's means to each his need
We saw a time man would be freed
We fought for all the things we saw
The battle's lost but not the war
[Chorus]
So we walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
[Bridge]
We will go down, but our heads are proud
We will go down with our voices loud
We will go down but come again
And we all go together when we go
Ah, ah, ah
And we all go together when we go
[Chorus]
We walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
[Chorus]
We walk proudly and we walk strong
All together, we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
[Chorus]
We walk proudly and we walk strong
All together we will go as one
The ground is empty and cold as hell
But we all go together when we go
