The Decemberists - We All Die Young lyrics

It was late one night, I was counting out my stitches Waiting by the side of the road I was a long time gone, slipping off my britches Feeling like it’s time to go home Yeah, feeling like it’s time to go home And in this dream, Bill Tecumseh Sherman Glowered at the foot of my bed He was long and lean, he spoke in perfect German And I recorded all that he said Yeah, I recorded all that he said He said: “We all die young We all die young We all die young We all die young” When I woke next day, layered in the lashings Feeling for the hole in my head I was thinking ’bout my dad, thinking ’bout the nashings Of all the bitter things that he said Yeah, all the worrying things that he had said And he said: “We all die young We all die young We all die young We all die young” Son, he said: “We all die young We all die young! We all die young We all die young! We all die young We all die young! We all die young” We all die young! And it came to pa** when everything had ended The world was just a grubby balloon And I spoke up, said “sorry if I’ve offended” This voice came from the back of the room Oh, screaming from the back of the room It said: “We all die young We all die young! We all die young We all die young! We all die young We all die, we all die young! We all die young” One more time! “We all die young Bill Tecumseh Sherman We all die young! We all die young Sorry if I’ve offended We all die young! We all die young We all die, we all die young! We all die young” We all die young! We all die young! We all die, we all die young! We all die young! We all die young! We all die, we all die young!
