Bottom Of Everything (we Must Sing) Lyrics

we must talk in every telephone, get eaten off the web

we must rip out all the epilogues from the books that we have read

and in the face of every criminal strapped firmly to a chair

we must stare, we must stare, we must stare



we must take all of the medicines too expensive now to sell

set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell

and in the ear of every anarchist who sleeps but doesn't dream

we must sing, we must sing, we must sing



while my mother waters plants, my father loads his gun

he says death will give us back to god just like setting sun

is returned to the lonesome ocean



we're gonna blend into the choir; sing ecstatic with the whole

you must memorize nine numbers and deny we have a soul

and in endless race from property and privilege to be won

we must run, we must run, we must run



we must hang up in the belfry where the bats in moonlight laugh 

me must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past

and in the caverns of tomorrow with only our flashlights and our love

we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge



and then we'll get down there...you know way down to the very bottom of
everything and we'll 

sing oh my god



all my morning is coming fast

the whole world is waking up

with the city buses swimming past

I'm happy just because

I've found out I am really no one
