Wettin' Down the Dirt - Jared Mees & The Grown Children[00:00:00]
You can build it up or you can break it down[00:00:09]
You can tell it kid you're on the wrong side of the town[00:00:14]
You can wear it out or you can wisen up[00:00:19]
You can drink white risky from your old man's coffee cup[00:00:24]
But don't forget about the time you wasted all those pretty days[00:00:28]
Lying silent in the bedroom while they vanished in the haze[00:00:33]
The possibilities you'll find will only serve to change your open mind[00:00:38]
Lay there long enough and you'll end up getting bored[00:00:48]
Until you realize all you need is just the truth[00:00:53]
And a couple simple bar chords[00:00:57]
You can talk and talk or you can shut your mouth[00:01:11]
You can burn the photographs in the shed behind the house[00:01:16]
You can crane your neck to see the rising sun[00:01:21]
Or you can sit and wait for it with an old sod off shot gun[00:01:26]
But it'll creep up on behind you from the place you least expect[00:01:30]
And then break your bleeding heart before it rings your weary neck[00:01:35]
And even though it never quite belongs sneaks into your every single song[00:01:40]
All those petty things you never meant to say[00:01:49]
Like hi there nice to meet you please drive safely have a very pleasant day[00:01:55]
You can blink or gawk at the hand that you've been dealed[00:02:12]
But either way you know your crops are rottin' in the field[00:02:17]
You can go to mass you can go to church[00:02:22]
You can make believe your blood ain't meant for wettin' down the dirt[00:02:27]
So throw a palm tree on the fire girl watch those leaves ignite[00:02:32]
And sing the blues out on some island 40 days and 40 nights[00:02:37]
And maybe all that mexico blood you[00:02:41]
Spill on that cracking bridge of yours will last[00:02:44]
You until the firelight is gone and leaves you cold[00:02:49]
Sleeping with the gray whales white bones and black ghosts[00:02:55]
Until the day that you get old[00:03:00]
You can protest wars say the president's a liar[00:03:41]
But in this type of town you're only preaching to the choir[00:03:46]
Cause the thing that's gonna get us ain't the one we're protesting[00:03:50]
It's all happened before it will all happen again[00:03:55]
And the only thing I claim to know about the enemy[00:04:00]
They use a dash of violence and a dire look of subtlety[00:04:05]
So go ahead expose those evil plans[00:04:10]
Cause you always got an inside man[00:04:14]
Do whatever makes you feel fine[00:04:19]
Just know whatever you swallow's always attached to some sort of lie[00:04:24]
