《Wettin’ Down the Dirt》歌词

[00:00:00] Wettin' Down the Dirt - Jared Mees & The Grown Children

[00:00:09] You can build it up or you can break it down

[00:00:14] You can tell it kid you're on the wrong side of the town

[00:00:19] You can wear it out or you can wisen up

[00:00:24] You can drink white risky from your old man's coffee cup

[00:00:28] But don't forget about the time you wasted all those pretty days

[00:00:33] Lying silent in the bedroom while they vanished in the haze

[00:00:38] The possibilities you'll find will only serve to change your open mind

[00:00:48] Lay there long enough and you'll end up getting bored

[00:00:53] Until you realize all you need is just the truth

[00:00:57] And a couple simple bar chords

[00:01:11] You can talk and talk or you can shut your mouth

[00:01:16] You can burn the photographs in the shed behind the house

[00:01:21] You can crane your neck to see the rising sun

[00:01:26] Or you can sit and wait for it with an old sod off shot gun

[00:01:30] But it'll creep up on behind you from the place you least expect

[00:01:35] And then break your bleeding heart before it rings your weary neck

[00:01:40] And even though it never quite belongs sneaks into your every single song

[00:01:49] All those petty things you never meant to say

[00:01:55] Like hi there nice to meet you please drive safely have a very pleasant day

[00:02:12] You can blink or gawk at the hand that you've been dealed

[00:02:17] But either way you know your crops are rottin' in the field

[00:02:22] You can go to mass you can go to church

[00:02:27] You can make believe your blood ain't meant for wettin' down the dirt

[00:02:32] So throw a palm tree on the fire girl watch those leaves ignite

[00:02:37] And sing the blues out on some island 40 days and 40 nights

[00:02:41] And maybe all that mexico blood you

[00:02:44] Spill on that cracking bridge of yours will last

[00:02:49] You until the firelight is gone and leaves you cold

[00:02:55] Sleeping with the gray whales white bones and black ghosts

[00:03:00] Until the day that you get old

[00:03:41] You can protest wars say the president's a liar

[00:03:46] But in this type of town you're only preaching to the choir

[00:03:50] Cause the thing that's gonna get us ain't the one we're protesting

[00:03:55] It's all happened before it will all happen again

[00:04:00] And the only thing I claim to know about the enemy

[00:04:05] They use a dash of violence and a dire look of subtlety

[00:04:10] So go ahead expose those evil plans

[00:04:14] Cause you always got an inside man

[00:04:19] Do whatever makes you feel fine

[00:04:24] Just know whatever you swallow's always attached to some sort of lie
