Live 16 Mar 2013 version
[Spoken intro:] This is "High Hopes".
Monday morning runs to Sunday night
A scream slow me down before the new year dies
Won't take much to kill a loving smile
And every mother with a baby crying in her arms, singing
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Coming from the cities, coming from the wild
I see a breathless army breaking like a cloud
They're gonna smother love, they're gonna shoot your hopes
Before the meek inherit they'll learn to hate themselves
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Tell me someone now, what's the price
I wanna buy some time and maybe live my life
I wanna have a wife, I wanna have some kids
I wanna look in their eyes and know they'll stand a chance
Yeah!
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
Got high hopes
[Spoken outro:] Whoa! Tom Morello, every ??? his birthday.
