The Milk Carton Kids - Monterey High Hopes
Lyrics
the letter said it all, we're shipping out
i know they got it wrong without a doubt
the war ain't over there it's here with me
the battle of the bloody century
what is going here, what becomes the lot of us?
i thought i would complain, dear, when joining with the great circus
but i've got high, i’ve got high
i've got high hopes tonight
i got high alright
"settle up your bill,” the raining shouts
the patter of forsaken voices loud
lined throughout the pockets of my vest
a greenback skeleton holds in the rest
a symphony of mercy falls upon no deafer ears
i'd look you in the eyes but i wouldn't recognize your fears
but i've got high, i’ve got high
i've got high hopes tonight
i got high alright
