From the recording What Is And Never Was

Lyrics

One hand on the plow one foot in the grave
The lives we live for the lives we trade
Together we brace before the crash of the wave
We're all slaves, just by a different name

We put on the motions, we go through a show
For raising our voices or losing control
Paying our dues until they've taken its toll
Well, that's getting old
or didn't you know

That there's nothing wrong
with the way that you love or the world you create
We've carried a load, to dig up a hole and bury
that weight
It ain't a mystery, one thing about history is can
be changed

We lift up our glasses to all bid adieu
for alternate fences, for those who refuse
The mountain is high and the numbers are few
Together we rise or together we're through

an' there's nothing wrong
with the way that you love or the world you create
We've carried a load, to dig up a hole and bury
that weight
It ain't a mystery, one thing about history is can
be changed
