lyrics

We buried all our guns in the ground
And destroyed all the evidence
Knew that they’d be bringing hell down on us
For us, bringing hell down on them

We watched as they chose to ignore
The changing of the guard and the sound
We were few but we were ready for war
A war, to burn this place to the ground

And it breaks my heart to think about
We will never be the same again
Here I’ve been still trying to figure me out
When I should have been worried about them

We knew that we were going to fight
A fight we knew that we wouldn’t win
To stand with those who believe
By my side by their side
Was worth our death in the end

From now until the end of time
The streets forever stained with our blood
In a town where dreams surely come to die
Every time the lights shine
Yeah they’ll be thinking of us

And it breaks my heart to think about
We will never be the same again
Here I’ve been still trying to figure me out
When I should have been worried about them

I remember when you sat me down
Held on to every word that you said to me
You were spitting selfish lies from your mouth
Now I’m older and grown and know they don’t mean a thing

And it breaks my heart to think about
We will never be the same again
Here I’ve been still trying to figure me out
When I should have been worried about them

And it breaks my heart to think about
We will never be the same again
Here I’ve been still trying to figure me out
When I should have been worried about them

Arlo Mckinley Cincinnati, Ohio

Arlo McKinley has washed his songs in the blood of street soul, country, punk and gospel – and tattooed them onto the underground.
Filled with an honest weight and gritty-hope from rustbelt city life, McKinley rolled downriver to Memphis’ Sun Studio where Grammy Award-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang gathered a working man’s all-star band to record his Oh Boy Records debut, “Die Midwestern.”
