lyrics

I plan to break my back until however long I can

Until my body and my bones begin to fail

And I will go along inhaling moth wing dust and dirt

Until my lungs refuse to shrink and to expand




I'm not sure how I'd take it

if the warehouse walls just faded

And they told me to go out and sing my songs

And I had time for dreaming, and for catching up on sleeping

and for being who I'd meant to all along




It is a lopsided balance

It is disease that's entrenched the better parts of me

It is a fragile allowance

That pays out to keep me relatively clean




The fit of this blue collar is like a noose made up of dollars

And I dangle like a scarecrow in the wind

But like my father's father

I was made to work and tolerate the choking

And the outcome of my sins




So if you're asking the questions

You'd better speak up cause no one's listening

And if you're selling an image

You'd better get used to never being seen
