Dead Wood
Farmer small farmer small
he's a hard workin boy
he don't believe in god
and he's stickin to his story
and I don't really know
If I can call him a friend
but all things good and evil
come to an end
dead wood, dead wood
all summer long
dead wood, dead wood
someone's bound to set it off
You were angry when I met you
you're angrier today
and do you think that all that sheit
will just dry up and blow away
if unhappy now, then unhappy you will be
and all the fame and glory
won't burn away your misery
dead wood, dead wood
all summer long
dead wood, dead wood
someone's bound to set it off
'King John was not a good man
he had his little ways
and sometimes no one spoke to him
for days and days and days'
but at least he had his castle
and his crown and everything
he put everybody down
and didn't feel like a king
It's been a long hot season
and hot it will remain
upon the tinder of your soul
where there is never any rain
So I leave these notes in the air
and then I stay the hell away
hoping nobody who loves you
brings a spark to you someday.
dead wood, dead wood
all summer long
dead wood, dead wood
someone's bound to set it off.
