North & south

And so we say
We ain't got life
Don't want a cardboard cut-out
Don't want a plastic knife.

Now I know, time can march
With it's chargin' feet
Now I know, words are only cheap
It's gonna be a burn out
All around this town
The south is up
But the north is down.

There's gonna be a killin'
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand.

And so we say
Have you no use
For eight million hands
And the power of youth.

Now I know, time can march
With it's chargin' feet
Now I know, words are only cheap
It's gonna be a burn out
All around this town

The south is up
But the north is down.

There's gonna be a killin'
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand.

It's gonna be a burn out!.

And so we say
We ain't diggin' no graves
We're diggin' a foundation
For a future to be made.

Now I know, time can march
With it's chargin' feet
Now I know, words are only cheap
It's gonna be a burn out
All around this town
The south is up
But the north is down.

There's gonna be a killin'
Of a woman and a man
Trying to feed that child
Without a coin in their hand.

It's gonna be a burn out!
