lyrics

SOAKED TO PULP

Oh green hills my weight is divided into too many parts to count
The sun that I once knew shines in a different light
On the roof that I once hid behind
Now the rooms down below are now owned by other men
They don't know me and I don't know them and that's just fine by me

Why should I trust you with my only life
All those starch white shirts and alibis
Still the laws of the land stand by your side

Oh green hills my weight is divided into too many parts to count
The wind that once blew the hair out of your eyes
Now freezes the meat to my bones
Now the house where we once hid is now owned by other men
They don't know me and I don't know them and that's just fine by me

Why should I trust you with my only life
All those master shots and lily-white lies
Still the laws of the land stand by your side

I'm not counting anymore
Official letters can be folded, torn burned soaked to pulp

I'm not counting anymore
Head cracked, lip split, legs limp too late

I'm not counting anymore
Tickling the tiger's tail, dumb trick dumb luck

I'm not counting anymore
They don't have your best interests in mind

His literary eye for detail and deceptively powerful voice create moments of catharsis and beauty amid the bleak and mundane. ... more
