In The Woods (live recording)

dopesick

Underneath a mountain
in an Appalachian town  
where sunshine ain’t around much anyway

My daddy was a miner 
and i’m miners son 
still working here since the year 19 hundred 'n 31

the day i hurt my back
while swinging this pick axe 
was the same day that i met the devil dear

and i ain’t been the same 
since those pills took all my pain 
then everything i’ve ever loved and poured it down the drain

i hope 
your profit margins show
you something worth these bodies piling high 

and i hope 
your death will come soon 
then soon you’ll have to answer for your crimes

you've lied and ya cheated 
and that’s the least of all your sins
hiding behind lawyers
and slow bureaucratic pens 

now there’s lives lost
you ain’t answering calls 
boy you better not show your face ‘round these here parts at all

got the judge in his pocket 
and it’s FDA approved 
if you got a suit and a serpents tongue

got the doctors slingin’ pills 
giving everyone the blues 
but the TV said they’re safe 
and the TVs always true 

i hope 
your profit margins show
you something worth these bodies piling high 

and i hope 
your death will come soon 
then soon you’ll have to answer for your crimes


so doctor gimme pills 
that i no longer need
'fraid it’s now the only way i know 

killing off my time 
my body and my mind
was the son of a miner 
in a long forsaken life
