Dominion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I
Can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I
Can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

In violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white, they really really ought to know
Those one track minds that took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye, you shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to shout for joy

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I
Can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

They gave you life, and in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice, I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I
Can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I
Can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

Shout, shout, let it all out (let it all out)
These are the things I can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on

And when you've taken down your guard

If I could change your mind, I'd really love to break
Your heart
I'd really love to break your heart

Shout, shout, let it all out
(Break your heart) these are the things I can do
Without
(I'd really love to break your heart) come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I
Can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you so come on

Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I
Can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
(They really really ought to know) Shout, shout, let it
All out
(Really really ought to know) These are the things I
Can do without
(They really really) Come on, I'm talking to you, come
On
(They really really ought to know) Shout, shout, let it
All out
(I'd really love to break your heart)
These are the things I can do without
(I'd really love to break your heart)
Come on, I'm talking to you so come on
Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I




Can do without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on...(fade)
