Black Star Riders – Underneath The Afterglow lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say we're finished but I'm only getting started
I've been denied to join the broken-hearted
A free state of mind is only temporary
The rich are getting rich while the poor are getting ready

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Back in the day when everything was better?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
As I recall it wasn't nothing special

[Chorus]
Hate's a four letter word (Whoa-oh-oh)
Love's a four letter lie (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm just letting you know (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm doing alright underneath the afterglow

[Verse 2]
I stand accused of being disregarded
Just for the record I'm now your dear departed
I saw the light when it started getting heavy
You try to shake it up instead of going steady

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Back in the day when everything was better?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
As I recall it wasn't nothing special

[Chorus]
Hate's a four letter word (Whoa-oh-oh)
Love's a four letter lie (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm just letting you know (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm doing alright underneath the afterglow

[Bridge]
For your information, just so you know
I quit the rescue business long time ago
Who's gonna help you in your hour of need?
Are you gonna stand there and let it bleed?

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Back in the day when everything was better?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
As I recall you're really nothing special

[Chorus]
Hate's a four letter word (Whoa-oh-oh)
Love's a four letter lie (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm just letting you know (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm doing alright underneath the afterglow

[Outro]
Hate's a four letter word (Whoa-oh-oh)
Love's a four letter lie (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm just letting you know (Whoa-oh-oh)
I'm doing alright, I'm doing alright, I'm doing alright
