Rationalize values it's so easy to succeed
Keeping your eyes on the prize success, success
Camped outside Laissez Faire
People understand me there
Don't talk to me we'll get along just fine
Blowin' out your mores
Henry Ford tradition preys on
Idle minds left the emergency brake on too long
Underneath the city lies the ruins of mankind
The excavation was a financial success
With artifacts of gold
The arrowheads went straight to the Smithsonian
The rest was melted down and sold
Substantial gains
Minimal losses are tolerable
As long as the machine keeps running fine
Cannibals
Functioning on Pheromones
We old ones, have seen two wars
When you're sick and afraid
And there's danger around
Take a pick and a spade
And Cut into the ground
Away from the light
Away from the sound
Make a trap for the beast
Dig his burial mound
Dig for your life
Dig to the death
Dig for Salvation
Till your very last breath
Dig for protection
Dig for release
Dig for resurrection
Dig for peace
We old ones, have seen two wars
When you dream of a laser
That sears your soul
Slices like a razor
Burns like coal
You can bet you'll forget
When the rock starts to roll
And the last meets the least
By the watering hole
Dig it down deep
Dig it out wide
Dig it pleasure
Dig it for pride
Dig it for treasure
Dig it for stones
Dig it for the metal
And dig it for the bones
We old ones, have seen two wars.
We all have a weakness
Some of ours are easier to identify
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness
We'll make a pact to never speak
That word again, yes, you are my friend
We all have something that digs at us
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try
We all have someone that digs at us
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
Oh, each other when everything else is gone
If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone
Oh, each other, sing this song, when everything else is gone
Oh, each other, when everything else is gone
Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig
We old ones have seen two wars
We old ones have seen two wars
When you're sick and afraid, and there's danger around
Take a pick and a spade, and cut into the ground
Away from the light, away from the sound
Make a trap for the beast, dig his burial mound
Dig for your life, dig it to the death
Dig for salvation till your very last breath
Dig for a protection, dig for release
Dig for resurrection, dig it for peace
We old ones have seen two wars
When you dream of a laser that sears your soul
Slices like a razor and burns like a coal
You can bet you'll forget, when the rocks start to roll
And the last meets the least, by the watering hole
Dig it down deep, dig it out wide
Dig it for a pleasure, dig it for pride
Dig it for a treasure, dig it for stones
Dig it for the metal and dig it for the bones
Dig it
Dig it deep down, deep, deep down
Deep down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Dig it down deep, dig it out wide
Dig it for a pleasure, dig it for pride
Dig it for a treasure, dig it for stones
Dig it for the metal and dig it for the bones
Dig it
We old ones have seen two wars
We old ones have seen two wars
Dig it down deep, dig it out wide
Dig it for a pleasure, dig it for pride
Dig it for a treasure, dig it for stones
Dig it for the metal, and dig it for the bones
Dig for your life, dig it to the death
Dig for salvation till your very last breath
Dig for a protection, dig for release
Dig for resurrection, and dig it for a peace
i had a big idea
i had a crazy eye
i broke the sacred seal
i told a lazy lie
i've had my conscience bent
i've had my patience tried
i've been up in the desert and
down by the riverside
will the eagle fly
if the sky's untrue?
do the faithful sigh
because they are so few?
remember when i cried?
remember when you knew?
remember the look in your eyes?
i know i do
and count the stars to measure time
the earth is hard, the treasure fine
to the sea, ill crawl on my knees
feel it coming in
feel it going out
water covers sand
blood covers doubt
so i begin again
again, the healing bow
there was a time when i might have surrendered, but not now
consult the cards to measure mine
the earth is hard, but the treasure fine
at the sea, i'll wait on my knees
consult the cards to measure mine
the earth is hard, but the treasure fine
at the sea, ill wait on my knees
at the sea, ill wait on my knees
Well I don't want to make you angry
Don't want to talk about it
when you call and I pretend I'm not around
And I don't make good company
And one of us has got to leave
cause this is getting boring by now
Now I don't know
what I'm supposed to say
when I really want to do is try to run away
Gotta get away
from this showdown I know I'll never win with you
I don't want to feed the fire
And I don't to be the liar
but something's gotta give before I'm gone
Now I'm wrong if I don't say enough
And I'm wrong if I give in too much
So I'll take a bow and get out while I can
Now I don't know
what I'm supposed to say
when I really want to do is try to run away
Gotta get away
from this showdown I know I'll never win with you
Now here I go again
just like before I'm going down
I try to practice what I wanna say
but you won't listen anyway
Like every time before
one of us is out that door
Don't bother waiting for me
cause I'll be on my way
Dig, bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig, bury me underneath
Everything that I was slowly changing
I would love to beat the face
Of any motherfucker that's thinking, they can change me
White knuckles grip pushing through for the gold
If you're wanting a piece of me, I'll break the motherfucking mold
I'm drowning in your wake
Shit rubbed in my face
Teething on concrete
Gums bleeding
Dig, bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig, bury me underneath
Everything that I was slowly changing
I struggle in violated space
Sell out motherfuckers in the biz that try to fuck me
Hang from their T's rated PG insight
I ain't selling my soul when there's nothing to buy
I'm livid in my space
Pissing in my face
Fuck you while you try
To fuck me
Dig, bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig, bury me underneath
Everything that I was, you ain't fuckin' changing me
Dig, my, my motherfucker
Dig, my, my motherfucker
Dig, my, my motherfucker
Let me help you tie the rope around your neck
Let me help to talk you the wrong way off a ledge
Let me help you hold the clock against your head
Let me help you tie the rope around your neck
Let me help to talk you the wrong way off a ledge
Let me help you hold the clock against your head
Let me help to chain the weights onto your legs
Get on the plank fuck
Dig, bury me underneath
Everything that I am rearranging
Dig, bury me underneath
Everything that I was slowly changing
Wish you were committing
Suicide sucking on a mother fucking tailpipe
Dead man walking on a tight rope
Limbless in the middle of a channel bombs away
Rationalize values it's so easy to succeed
Keeping your eyes on the prize success, success
Camped outside Laissez Faire
People understand me there
Don't talk to me we'll get along just fine
Blowin' out your mores
Henry Ford tradition preys on
Idle minds left the emergency brake on too long
Underneath the city lies the ruins of mankind
The excavation was a financial success
With artifacts of gold
The arrowheads went straight to the Smithsonian
The rest was melted down and sold
Substantial gains
Minimal losses are tolerable
As long as the machine keeps running fine
Cannibals
Functioning on Pheromones
Rational thought lost to instinctual
When it's kill or be killed baby
I sometimes wish we ate our young
If fear was clear, then just maybe
All your sweet dreams will make you strong
Babe, you need some help
Babe, not by yourself no
Hey, a plea for mercy
Hey, your winter's here to stay
Dig a hole, dig it deep
Bury yourself alive
Say a prayer, say one for me
Then kiss your ass goodbye
All out of time, your luck's on empty
Your pain if flows like falling rain
It's never ending
Your faith comes from the damage done
Never ever thought you did no wrong
It seems so strange that you're complaining
You say, you have a vision
But hey, you lack conviction you know
You think you're on a mission from God
But look at your condition you know
Dig a hole, dig it deep
Bury yourself alive
Say a prayer, say one for me
Then kiss your ass goodbye
Dig a hole, how do you sleep
Holding your fears inside
Say a prayer, say one for me
Then kiss your ass goodbye
Dig a hole, dig it deep
Bury yourself alive
Say a prayer, say one for me
Then kiss your ass bye-bye
Dig a hole, how do you sleep
Holding your fears inside
Say a prayer, say one for me
Then kiss your ass goodbye
No more fears - No more lying
It's so clear -- He more crying
No more fears He more lying
All your fears keep on trying
Keep on trying
No use, no use, no use crying
I dig a girl who's on her own
Smiles at the lonely folk
Cause she's got nothing figured out
I laugh
Cause I don't wanna cry no more
I laugh because I hit the floor
Wiping stains from the bullets of a bang
And when you're down and out of touch
I'll be waiting at that dock
The storm will clear and your ship will come to town
And when the tides don't go your way
And the sun don't shine for days
Which someday I will make her free
And scarlet you had a real friend in me
Love
Is lying in the strangest place
Is crying cause it has no face
Faces is the pain inside my gut
And I dig
The girl who sang me lullabys
Let me kiss her tired eyes
Tired I have been since she's gone
And when you're down and out of touch
I'll be waiting at that dock
The storm will clear and your ship will come to town
And when the tides don't go your way
And the sun don't shine for days
Were singing our way to FLA
You know I had a real friend in you
And when you're down and out of touch
I'll be waiting at that dock
The storm will clear and your ship will come to town
And when the tides don't go your way
And the sun don't shine for days
Well don't you worry, girl
I've been there. I've been around
If you're lost, I'll be found
Between us
For years and years we had been groomed
To be a polished product in a doomed society.
We built the empire.
For years and years we have been kicked below the surface,
Dragged above, and kicked down again.
Erase the empire.
We prayed for fire but never did see a single spark.
Keep digging.
Five hundred years without light only means that we can see in the dark.
Keep digging.
Dark. Dark.
Digging... for human bones
Digging... on my own
Dig: hole in my head
Things falling in
I never hear no splash
...It's like a dead fall with
NO END... but I keep digging
Digging... skulls and bones
Digging... decompose
Crawling over a dead fall of
Human bones - the blood is
BACK in the light of the moon
Crawling, falling on them bones
The blood is black down in this hole
Digging... get this into ya!!
Digging... in the dead of the
Night
Digging... the pale moon light
(D. Gutter)
I live and i love and I give to the
day I burn, I'll wait my turn
for this I will sit in this classroom
until I learn
You got to learn and dig and be dug in return
Will this water quench my thirst
or will it make me drown
will these ropes secure me
or will they tie me down
will this fire keep me warm
or is it gonna burn
Hey teacher I want to learn
-chorus-
I know that life is hard
if you ain't got lots of money or a
credit card
you know it's gonna end but when
is it gonna start?
once you learn to dig you beat the hardest part
Sit back in the couch now
Thinking of slender coastlines outside
I saw you all standing
With a nation of spies
Do you like this hot weather
Loosening clothes – she said she's all right
Warm in her cashmere coat
We'll brush aside the wire
And we'll limp down
She's buried in concrete now
But we're doing fine, thanks
She's got some secret cement behind the kitchen door
With a delicate smile, she'll be coming back for more
Crash, dig, down, find, time, find, time
Crash, dig, down, find, time,
Always coming down
Always coming down
Always coming down
Sit back and check and smile
Sit back and check and smile
Sit back and check and smile
Sit back and check and smile
Sit back and check and smile
Always
I think I saw your head collapsing
She's buried in concrete now
But we're doing fine, thanks
She's got some secret cement behind the kitchen door
With a delicate smile, we'll be coming back for more
Crash, dig, down, find, time, find, time
Crash, dig, down, find, time
See you coming up from the bed
And I don't mind watching you
Take my hand, let's walk away
Walk away from what we are
Anymore
What you are
Anymore
Take my arm, let's fade away
Fade away from what we are
Take my drugs, invade my space
And I don't care what they're for
Anymore
What we are
Anymore
We stand watching you drown
Come away from what you are
We stand, staring at the ground
Well, I saw you holding up the world
Ten thousand junkies tried to tear you away
You say hate lives in us all
You sell your love in twenty dollar bags
Ride the wave
Inside of me
I saw you running for the edge
You tripped and fell on a shiny new badge
You tried to sing this stupid song
Then two blind men came and carried you away.
Ride the wave
Inside of me
You see me crawl
For you to beg
What do you want?
Nothing
What do you want?
Nothing
What are you?
Nothing
What do you want?
Nothing
a pleasure sale
Was it one for me or one makes you drive away?
Well, I saw you holding up the world
Ten thousand junkies tried to tear you away
You say hate lives in us all
You sell your love in twenty dollar bags
Ride the wave
Inside of me
You see me crawl
he said
goodbye
cause he don't
get nothing
she said
Inside
I don't
need no one
we don't decide
nothing
they stand
all alone
they both
need someone
they try
to believe
in something
to come on
and hide
try to erase
we don't decide
we try to rearrange
he said
goodbye
cause he don't
get nothing
they try
to believe
in something
to come on
and hide
try to erase
we don't decide
we try to rearrange
I like your stupid clothes
I like your look
I like your politics
I like your trash
I like your brand new car
I like your mouth
I like your mom and dad
I like your money
Conversation
Conversation
What your name is
What your name is
We like to talk a lot
We like to talk a lot
She like to talk a lot
We like to talk a lot
I like the stupid things you say
I like your hair
I like your opinions
Well I tried to disappear
But I'm still fucking here
Well I'll go ahead, say goodbye
'Cause I'll give it another try
Is it so hard to be who I am?
Isn't there anything to make it any easier?
Well I'm so tired of all your stupid lies
Well I'm so tired of all your tears
This is who I am
The unlucky friend
Will I have to hold your hand through darkness till the
end?
Well I tried to disappear
She opened up her eyes and said,
"Oh little sister won't you take my hand?
We'll go down together.
You know the place I'm thinking of."
She led her sister down.
And running underneath the summer sun,
With hearts on fire.
They were just two sisters in love!
They were just two sisters in love!
"Are you trying to break my heart?
Last night I saw you running through the dark...
You and him together...
You know the one I'm speaking of!"
She shot her sister dead...
And seemed to fall into that lonely grave.
Jumped in beside her.
They were just two sisters in love!
They were just two sisters in love!
"You know that I could never give you up
And I know that you could never give him up
And so I'll leave these words... on a headstone!"
They were just two sisters in love.
They were just two sisters in love!
They were just two sisters in love!
They were just two sisters in love!
When I tried to pick you up
then you will let me down
then you gave me your hand
that's when I tried to pull you in.
Your brain's on tight
You'll be all right
Your brain's on tight
You'll be all right
You said that I was your friend
that's when you tried to kick me out
You said that I was real cool
that's when you tried to pull me in
Your brain's on tight
You'll be all right
Your brain's on tight
H-yah!
You'll be all right
You'll be all right
You'll be all right
Your brain's on tight
You'll be all right
Your brain's on tight
You'll be all right
Your brain's on tight
You'll be all right

Well you look into the water and the fish are dead
You close your eyes and all you see is red
Now you're all tied up inside your head
And I already forgot everything you said
When you think of all the things that I said to you
They wouldn't cut to the bone if they weren't true
You can keep em locked away inside your head
But I already forgot everything you said
Well you came to me when the night was young
But you could not stay for very long
You were looking for a place to unload you head
And I already forgot everything you said
Well you left with him but he changed his mind
You left everything that you love behind
Now I would take you back but the feelings dead
And I already forgot everything you said
Now you can ease your heart you can ease your mind
You can save your thoughts for another time
Because the sun is rising on your bed
All I really wanna do
is get high
Lay in my bed
Who wants to see the girl flower again?
Well, I should ?
My latest wish
I should
So, original
All I ever needed is right here
in the green room
All I have to do
is take care the animal
Well, I should ?
My latest wish
I should
So, original
Well, I should ?
My latest wish
I should
She just likes to call
She's got something to say
She just likes to call
She knows how to complain
chorus:
But she's got her education
She knows just what to say
She says
Fuck you
She says
Fuck you
She just likes me to crawl
She's got someone to blame
She starts to annoy
When she tries to understand me
chorus
She just likes to call
With all this time to waist
She just likes to call
Maybe I should say...
chorus x2
She says
Everytime you need someone
Realize there is no one.
Well, I don't want to build you up
I don't want to put you down
No reason to give you hope
when your feet don't touch the ground.
Climb aboard
Stay above them
Save the fight,
'cause you need someone.
Well, I don't want to build you up
I don't want to put you down
No reason to give you hope
when your feet don't touch the ground.
Well, I don't want to build you up
I don't want to put you down
No reason to give you hope
when your feet don't touch the ground.
Yeah!
Well, I don't want to build you up
I don't want to put you down
No reason to give you hope
when your feet don't touch the ground.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When your feet don't touch the ground.
When your feet don't touch the ground.
When your feet don't touch the ground.
Hey, hey, hey!
Here's Fat Albert
And I'm gonna sing a song for you
And Bill's gonna show you a thing or two
You'll have some fun now
With me and all the gang
Learning from each other
While we do our thing
Na, na, na
Gonna have a good time
Hey, hey, hey!
Na, na, na
Gonna have a good time
Na, na, na
Gonna have a good time
Hey, hey, hey!

they won't deny your own education now
they won't buy what is on your plate now
they won't deny there is segregation now
they won't buy what is on their table
why don't you believe, believe in your own god?
why don't you believe, believe in your own god?
they will deny there is separation now

won't you look all around yourself
try to live in your own special life?

there's no more groove left in love
sometimes I wonder if there's room up above
my hearts grown heavy
weighed down by pain
here comes the rain clouds
pouring down again
people hear my cries
no more groove left in love
we're always shoving cause people shove
but I don't wanna fight
I just want to fall in love
call me crazy I'm being sincere
no matter what they tell me
I'm gonna make it there
we need to spread the love
no more groove left in love
I drew a sound from the belly of the well.
I've loosened my grip on the rope that pulls the water pail.
I threw a quarter down.
I'm gonna dive down after it.
I hope that Truth of Soul was right to say there isn't a bottom to hit,
'cause if there is, then throw a shovel down
To let the world come in as an easy fit.
I'm gonna dig, dig, dig.
I'm gonna dig, dig, dig.
Back on the ground as far as I can tell.
High above is the place from which I'd like to think I fell.
I'm going underground
You know it's far too dark in here.
I hope that Truth of Soul was right to say there really is nothing to fear,
'cause if there is, then send an angel down
To let the world come in as an easy fit.
I'm gonna dig, dig, dig.
Look how it grows deep within us
Like precious little stones in the depths
Fingers and palms in the mud dig deeper
The pocketless thieves coming closer
Come washing ashore from the ocean
Armed to their teeth
It's been a long time coming
The moment is here
And the pressure is very real
So just cut a little hole
And let it all equalise
We're planting our flags
But we don't dig deep enough
Look how they grow and betray us
Little white maggots in the ground
Look at them go cross the ocean
Left with our hands in the mud
Our feverish minds hard at work now
Precious little stones in the depths
Look how it glows! It cuts through your bones!
Reflecting the light
Here it comes, one more time
Ruined life, again and again
Pierce the vain, nightmares precede
Base your life on hero bullshit
Falling down, never get up
Pierce the vain, nightmares precede
