Lyrics
my granddad carried a man
across enemy lines and pumped his heart by hand
and then he came home to a thankless life
until the cancer did him in
they fired 21 shots before they put him in the ground
mom, if that's movin up then I'm movin out
we weren't born with a worthy war
scrounging for beer down at the corner store
we're not blessed much
but we don't expect much anymore
I'd rather waste my time than let them waste mine
let some Sisyphus sucker do the climb climb climb
they wanna bury us in our cradles
dressed in our fathers' nicest suits
and stick us deep in the backyard garden
to fortify the roots
make sinners of our wives
breadwinners all our lives
as if bread was some kind of prize
