Vigilantes of Love
Bearing The Load
[Chorus]
Here's to all you ragged ones and torn
Some of us are waiting here
A lifetime to be born
There are some things you will save
Ah, but most you'll cast away
Bearing the load, bearing the load

[Verse 1]
Stories in your face
Well they use no words at all
My cadences, they're all car-crashed
On the retaining wall
And there are no graveyards
We know better than our own
Bearing the load, bearing the load

[Chorus]
Here's to all you ragged ones and torn
Some of us are waiting here
A lifetime to be born
There are some things you will save
Ah, but most we'll cast away
Bearing the load, bearing the load

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Turnout on the highway
Yeah, and it's never what it seems
And just what was that
Tugging at your sleeve?
Prayers slip through the fan blades
Or they open every door
Bearing the load, bearing the load

[Chorus]
Here's to all you ragged ones and torn
Some of us are waiting here
A lifetime to be born
There are some things you will save
Ah, but most we'll cast away
Bearing the load
(The load)
Bearing the load
(The load)
Bearing the load, bearing the load
Bearing the load
Yeah, bearing the load
