Cover art for Our Father's Sons lyrics by Gaslight Anthem, The

Don't know how I'm the first one to comment on yet another amazing from an incredibly amazing group but I'll take it. The lyrics here are incorrect. These are the correct lyrics:

Help me sing All you weary strangers raise your voice In this chain gang chorus in our younger days My brothers, we were naive sailors Storms we all endure Oh the road, all you who sing her praises are dust and bones The places that she takes us, the choice was ours We wanted much more than our fathers While our mothers said their prayers

Yeah, we're moving on up, to the east side We finally got a piece of the pie...of the pie

Baby doll All you women of the travelers, your empty arms Your patient hearts in waiting, bless your hearts And your never ending patience I could not go on without you

We're all the same All the blue and bright white collars, we're all the same Our troubles and our sorrows but underneath Is the blood and bony mixture Though we dance to different songs And your mama's all right Your daddy's all right They just seem a little bit weird...oh, surrender

Every man, every woman with a burden raise your hands Raise 'em up to the firmament, see those hands Meet your brothers and your sisters, use your hands We are our father's sons

Excellent song and one of my favorites. Brian's vocals throughout add so much more passion to the song.
