The Replacements - We'll Inherit The Earth lyrics

"shocking how nothing shocks anymore"

The message read as it washed ashore

Skies turn black as my eyes look down

Written on the back are these words I've found:

"we'll inherit the earth but we don't want it

It's been ours since birthwhat'cha doin' on it?

We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it

Layin' claim at birthwhat'cha doin' on it? "

Waterfalls of grain flow through our hands

We're too weak to stand and too weak to stray

Big trees sway and the air is still

Lovers climb at the top of a hill and say

"we'll inherit the earth but we don't want it

It's been ours since birthwhat'cha doin' on it?

We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it

Laid our claim at birthwhat'cha doin' on it? "

We watch the world from the padded cell

And our eyes scream what our lips must quell

Ohwell...

{i've been told that the light shines darkness}

{...it ain't quite the same}

{the dark gales} {if I was off the wall then it's you I bring}

{remains} {they're all frustration whales}

Last bundle of twigs grew strong and young

We can't hold our tongues at the top of our lungs

We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody

It's been ours since birthand it's ours already

We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody

It's been ours since birthand it's ours already

We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody

Don't tell a soul

{mumble}

I got my hands in my pockets and I'm waiting for the day to come

(inherit the earth

Inherit the earth...)
