Awake In The Dirt
Dad, I know you can't see My actions as a plea for peace You can't get past the rocks stained red The nail bomb blast, the doctor, dead
Your prairie dream, your liberal heart Your patient mind, your father's arms They just won't do, they just can't fit It's them not Marx you can blame for this
Alive in the dirt Alive in the dirt, I'm at peace Sainted and waiting for my perfect pain To speak through me again
Dad, I found God through Vietnam My Lai's graves, Agent Orange See, we live lies, we have to choose Our bombs spoke loud so I spoke, too
Then disappeared 10 miles from home Newark slum where you won't go It's here I've found my higher self Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com A life that works and suits me well
I pray for the dirt I pray for the dirt And I ask to suffer in silence To stay here in hell
Awake in the dirt
My stutter lifts, my words come clear Your little girl, she's just not here I am sure at my death The truth will float on God's sweet breath
Until that time don't ask for me Behind this veil is where I'll be
At one with the dirt At one with the dirt, I'm at peace Sainted and waiting for my perfect pain To cover me for good
