lyrics

BOTTOM OF THE EARTH

THEY CAME WITH GREAT HOPE
THOSE DIASPORAS MEN
REFUGEES OF LIFE
CAME UNPREPARED

THEY BRING THEIR GOLD
THEIR RING THE BELL
SURE WE ALL KNOW
THEY’RE ALL GOOD WISHING WELL

THEY BURN THEIR WITCHES
THEY HANG THEIR THIEVES
THEY KEPT THEIR LIERS
AS MUCH AS THEIR DISEASES

THE FOOD THE CLAIM
THEY CAN’T NOT EAT
AND THEIR WINE IS OFF AND TOO SWEET

HEY ST. PETER LET ME IN
CAN’T YOU SEE
WE’RE HANGING AT THE BORDERS

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EARTH

THE JUDGE, THE PRIEST
THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
THE PUNK, THE POLICE
THE COSH THAT CLAIM PEACE

THE DIGGERS THEIR GOLD
THE MINORS THEIR COAL
OR CAPTAIN LET’S SAIL
WE HAVE NEW LAND TO CLAIM

THE DOCTORS THEIR MEDICINE
THE SPEAKERS THEIR BELIEFS
THE PREACH AND WORSHIP
BUT NEVER CAN SLEEP

THE HAMMER THE CLUTCH
MONNALISA WITH A GUN
PUT YOUR HANDS UP
IT’S A ROBBERY GOTTA RUN
HEY ST. PETERE LET ME IN
CAN’T YOU SEE
WE’ STARVING AT THE BORDERS

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EARTH

THE BUTCHER THE KNIFE
THE PIGS UP ALL NIGHT
THE GALLOWS HANGING LIFE
UNDERTAKERS ON ITS SIDE

THE MOTHER AND HER CHILD,
THE GIRLS OUT OF SCHOOL,
THOSE BOYS ARE PRETTY GOOD,
BUT THEY DON’T PLAY BY THE RULES

THE PIRATE HIS TREASURE
SIENCE IS ALL MEASURE
THE LAWYER IN JAIL WITH HIS
HEART ON SAIL

THE PARKA THE BURKA,
THE MUSLIM WITH A BURGER,
THE DEVIL WITH THE BIBLE,
GRANDMAS WITH A RIFLE.

HEY! ST. PETER LET ME IN
CAN’T YOU SEE
WE’RE BUSHING AT THE BORDERS

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE EARTH
