Lyrics
DIG A DITCH TO THAILAND
BY: D. BORTZ
YOU WANT TO GO WHEN YOU WANT TO GO
YOU WANT TO BE WHERE YOU WANT TO BE
YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE
YOU WANT TO FIND WHAT YOU WANT TO FIND
IF A WRITER CAN'T PAY HIS BILLS
AND BE A WRITER AT THE SAME TIME
THAN HE HAS TO SWALLOW HIS PRIDE
AND DIG A DITCH TO THAILAND
PAYING DUES ALL OUR LIFE TO BE BORN IN THE SPACE WE OCCUPY
DIGGING DITCHES FOR THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN THE SPACE WE OCCUPY
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW
YOU WANT TO FEEL WHAT YOU WANT TO FEEL
YOU WANT TO LIVE WHERE YOU WANT TO LIVE
YOU WANT TO LOVE WHO YOU WANT TO LOVE
IF A WRITER CAN'T PAY HIS BILLS
AND BE A WRITER AT THE SAME TIME
THAN HE HAS TO SWALLOW HIS PRIDE
AND DIG A DITCH TO THAILAND
PAYING DUES FOR ALL OUR LIVES TO BE BORN IN THE SPACE WE OCCUPY
DIGGING DITCHES FOR THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN THE SPACE WE OCCUPY
YOU WILL BELIEVE WHAT YOU WANT TO BELIEVE
YOU WILL RATIONALIZE WHAT YOU WANT TO RATIONALIZE
YOU WILL MAKE RIGHT WHAT YOU WANT TO MAKE RIGHT
YOU WILL JUSTIFY WHAT YOU WANT TO JUSTIFY
THROUGH VOIDS, HOLES, SPACE, AND ABYISS
OVER WALL, CANYONS, OCEANS, AND MYTHS
THE CREATIVE SPIRIT MARCHES ON
THE DITCHES OF LIFE ARE HERE AND GONE
