lyrics

Here you are standing above a wound in the earth. Yeah, you've really struck it big. It's just a wrapping for a present, a present just for you! If I was left alone on some lonely desert island, and I was granted three wishes, the only things I'd wish for would be jobs.

I dedicate myself to the removal of overburden, the ground itself that's in the way, because I dedicate myself to my Sundays doing nothing... how'd things get this way.. Overburden: that's an industry term for the land you have to ruin to reach the shale prize below!

And here we are standing above a wound kept neatly hidden, while speaking about income like it's a replacement for air.
