lyrics
House of Cards
Words & Music by John DeLore
We were raised in a house of cards. Our father was afraid of the wind.
But every night we prayed & we prayed, “Oh, Mother let the storm begin.”
The walls were made of cups and spades, the diamonds were used for the floors,
But there has not been a heart in this home since a long time before the war.
It’s a house of cards. Won’t you blow it down?
And while you’re at it take this whole damn town, if you please.
We tried to live on love alone, but love couldn’t pay the rent.
Well, neither could we live on water and bread, so we lived on our dreams instead.
They said Jesus was a gambling man. He bet it all on red.
But when he woke up broken and gone, his Daddy raised him from the dead.
It’s a house of cards. Won’t you blow it down?
And while you’re at it take this whole damn town, if you please.
We have loved just to stay alive, some who did not deserve our love.
We gathered up what was left of our home.
It’s a song and you’ve heard it. I know you’ve heard.
It’s a house of cards, and it’s blowing down.
Don’t you be a fool. Take a look around.
There’s a brand new day comin’ round.
There’s a brand new day comin’ round.
