Bringing 'Em Back Alive

     
 

Bringing 'em back alive

Showing 'em on parade

Home from the wars

And straight from hell

A bloody crusade

 

Some were lost

But some got found

Others never showed

Some just stare and babble on

A one night stand

And the crazies of the road

 

On and on
It's sure to be better

It's surely been worse

On and on, on and on, you learn

You cope with the madness

You live with the curse

 

Bringing 'em back alive

Bringing 'em home today

Children of the planet Earth

A few who got away

 

Setting sails and casting dreams

Pirates from the coast

Stealing only precious things

The ones they need

And the ones they love the most

 

On and on
It's sure to be better

It's surely been worse

On and on, on and on, you learn

You cope with the madness

You live with the curse

 

On and on, on and on, on and on

It's sure to be better

It's surely been worse

On and on, on and on, you learn

You cope with the madness

You live with the curse

 

Bringing 'em back alive

Bringing 'em back alive

Bringing 'em back alive

Bringing 'em back alive
