about

A work song for the underworld. As above, so below.

lyrics

It’s a long, hard road and it’s further than you know
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
It’s a cruel hard load and we curse it as we go
Bleed until the Earth runs dry

Bleed until the Earth runs dry
All bleed until the Earth runs dry
We’re catching all catch can
And scratchin’ for the man
Bleed until the Earth runs dry

Born to work and die, leave the weary world behind
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
No we can’t say why but we never, never mind
Bleed until the Earth runs dry

Bleed until the Earth runs dry
All bleed until the Earth runs dry
We’re catching all catch can
And scratchin’ for the man
Bleed until the Earth runs dry

So we mump and moan, how we grump and how we groan
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Through the tax and the toil, through the cracks into the
spoil
Bleed until the Earth runs dry

Bleed until the Earth runs dry
All bleed until the Earth runs dry
Catching all catch can
And a scratchin’ for the man
Bleed until the Earth runs dry

Come to heel, workaday, throw me in the out tray
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
Up a hill all the way and that’s on a good day
Bleed until the Earth runs dry

Bleed until the Earth runs dry
All bleed until the Earth runs dry
We’re catching all catch can
And a scratchin’ for the man
Bleed until the Earth runs dry
