In a shady place I dig a hole
To sow the seeds of this brave soul
I strain my back
While mother earth
Commenced the pain of giving birth
Like perverts words
I'm strung together
To make some pervert god feel better
My hopes and my sins
Cannot erase this
SHOCK!
SHOCK ME!
If I get home I'll kiss the ground
And curse the hopes that held me down
If I get home I'll tend the fields
Caress the earth beneath my heals
SHOCK!
SHOCK ME!
In a shady place I dig a hole
To sow the seeds of this brave soul
Beneath the tree it's old as sin
I return to work again
I turn the stones
From earth's embrace
With the sweat and tears upon my face
My hopes and my sins
Or the many years
SHOCK!
SHOCK ME!
Shock
