lyrics

The poor devils threw down their shovels
Lit the fuses the bosses said the truth is that there’s
No going, ain’t no going back
The road you’re walking is the road we’re owning

Roots are drinking, the willow’s weeping
The ground’s breaking, am I making it any better
Feel like a feather caught up in the wind
That’s surely gonna blow us all home

But the wave it broke before you awoke
And all you’ve left is a dream
And the wind will blow this boat home
If together we all pull the anchor up

Deep down fathomless at the bottom
Where the water is colder and darker
And what’s down there breathing is not seeing
Not hearing, not feeling the wind

Build up the old town old friends cut the trees down
Shiny new toys for pretty girls and boys
But something’s missing like listless kissing
Take the love out of your heart
And shoot it into the ground

But the wave it broke before you awoke
And all you’ve left is a dream
And the wind will blow this boat home
If together we all pull the anchor up

We gathered in town lord what we found
Those liars threw the bellows is in the fire
We called a meeting we called it cheating
On that day this is what we sang

The backs of the few will break
If we don’t pull this weight
