And the light falls through the machines And the yard gets pressed with some sort of softer gravity And the gears and the hoses They throw shadows on the weeds So this is how it is A hard day’s peace I get walking off the factory floor 10 blocks catch me a train Be it walking through the blazing heat Or freezing buck shot rain Have you ever kept appearances up And found you’re really just disappearing? Lord, the men things make and the things men make Are as ridiculous as they are mean Well I'm here to tell you folks that there is more to life Than being walked on by the lame Even fools are proof that fools get some too It has a thousand different names
It’s why a convict plans escape It’s why a hardened soldier rapes It’s like the other side of faith Man you can even start a trade
It’s the freedom in the loot It’s the prosecutors proof Oh man oh man oh man, it’s just something to do It really is the only useful piece of truth i know
Like Dr. Destouches says Your life just passes If only for a little piece of ass Lots of people talk all sorts of shit But never really tell you what they’re thinking They only ever really wanted Just to fuck something
