Unsteady Ground |
At night we plant bones |
In the dark as you children sleep |
You should know by now |
There is always something moving |
Under your feet |
Black water runs deep |
Underneath these titanic plates |
Where you build your homes |
You tie up your safety nets |
When these plates meet |
It is mountains they make |
Yeah when these bones shift |
There’s an earthquake |
Watch your step |
You should keep your head down |
You never know what tomorrow will bring around |
Hold onto what good fortune you have found |
For you are walking on |
Unsteady ground |
We will drill the earth |
And you’ll ride that slick |
When it dirties your hands |
It’s a dirty trick |
But it’s like quicksand you know |
To distinguish the top from the undertow |
It gets harder |
As your eyes and your bellies grow |
Watch your step |
You should keep your head down |
You never know what tomorrow will bring around |
Hold onto what good fortune you have found |
For you are walking on |
You love God |
Yes, you love your president |
You want them both |
But we must keep them separate |
The left hand don’t know where the right hand is at yet |
The children don’t know yet that we’re bombing Baghdad |
Keep your head down |
We are walking on |
