Give Thanks by Trash Bats Lyrics
We ain't had much to hope for since we stumbled here to stay
We built our homes and families and churches where we pray
Whether done in peace or blood, we’ll take our pound of flesh and give thanks
We came in guns a blazin' and we're here to plant our flag
Celebrate a massacre and the bodies in our wake
We’re a goddamn force to fear, this day is for you, give thanks
Chorus:
I'm thankful that my body ain't crippled by no germ
My loved ones and my family survive, thrive, endure
All the blood we had to spill, to make our homes feel safe
We overcame our fear saw through the warpaint on your face
I ain't running savage, NOT TODAY
It's our countries favorite massacre and it took some years to get right
Set your huts on fire and we marched on through the night
You got some little blows in but we showed you we're the best so give thanks
We can spend this day together all gathered round a feast, no fears
The monsters in the past have wandered off down a trail of tears
We're standing in the ruins of a crumbled godless land so give thanks
Chorus:
I'm thankful that my body ain’t crippled by no germ
My loved ones and my family survive, thrive, endure
All the blood we had to spill, to make our homes feel safe
We overcame our fear saw through the warpaint on your face
I ain’t running savage, NOT TODAY
Chorus:
I'm thankful that my body ain’t crippled by no germ
My loved ones and my family survive, thrive, endure
All the blood we had to spill, to make our homes feel safe
We overcame our fear saw through the warpaint on your face
We're standing strong together to keep you reds in place
You can howl and chirp and bark, I'll keep building my highways
Nothing says freedom like football and parades, give thanks
To our friends, our fans and our families
All the lost souls, those who need our guidance
The weak, the frail, the blind and the holy
Our loved ones that have left this world too soon
Those that have gone to God to live out an eternity of bliss
You are not forgotten and you are not lost
To our friend Jacob, your spirit is out there watching
And we're praying for your safe passage across the realms
We miss you my friend, and until we meet again
We’re goddamn thankful we got to know you at all...
We built our homes and families and churches where we pray
Whether done in peace or blood, we’ll take our pound of flesh and give thanks
We came in guns a blazin' and we're here to plant our flag
Celebrate a massacre and the bodies in our wake
We’re a goddamn force to fear, this day is for you, give thanks
Chorus:
I'm thankful that my body ain't crippled by no germ
My loved ones and my family survive, thrive, endure
All the blood we had to spill, to make our homes feel safe
We overcame our fear saw through the warpaint on your face
I ain't running savage, NOT TODAY
It's our countries favorite massacre and it took some years to get right
Set your huts on fire and we marched on through the night
You got some little blows in but we showed you we're the best so give thanks
We can spend this day together all gathered round a feast, no fears
The monsters in the past have wandered off down a trail of tears
We're standing in the ruins of a crumbled godless land so give thanks
Chorus:
I'm thankful that my body ain’t crippled by no germ
My loved ones and my family survive, thrive, endure
All the blood we had to spill, to make our homes feel safe
We overcame our fear saw through the warpaint on your face
I ain’t running savage, NOT TODAY
Chorus:

My loved ones and my family survive, thrive, endure
All the blood we had to spill, to make our homes feel safe
