Lyrics
A View From a Hole
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So what do you do for a living?
I dug holes
And what do you put in there?
I bury hopes
Born in the shadow of Babylon
I speak in tongues but don't understand a word
I know how to wield a sword
but never learned how to plough
I know how to build castles mountain high
That are bound to fall
I'm not a coward but I hide behind the words
I play my songs, winds carry them home
I know the science but the science doesn't know me
And every now and then I burn Rome
My children rule this world
But they're raised to fail
World owes you nothing
Promised you nothing
And nothingness swallows it all
Don't curse, don't run
Don't fight, don't fear
Grow up before you grow old
I really hoped that if I dig long enough
I'd find hell- fire, pain and death
But it's just mud and some plastic bags
