Lyrics

Dirt Underneath

Some call her pitiful crazy and mean
Misunderstanding the life that she?s seen
Father and preacher both tried to preserve
The popular visions of heaven and earth

Some say it?s too late to try so litter the land with the lie
She calls home

I say she lost it a long time ago
Dazed and abusing the path that she chose
No one to stop her spun out of control
Practicing heart break and weakening soul

C?mon boys now lend me a hand and litter the lies oer the land
She calls home

All in one day there is no place to play
There is nowhere to go and no one to know
The answer will come without the question
Her hands may look clean but the dirt underneath
Holds the key

Far up above she looks pretty and pure
Ready to do what it takes to endure
The constant communion is all but to be
For ever and always in dis-harmony
I never taught the world to sing
Seemed like such a simple thing
To call home.

Chorus

I never taught the world to sing
It seems like such a simple thing?
