Hole in the road
Sun on your back
Shoulder the load
Your ancestors pa**ed
Wear on your sleeve
The virtues you lack
But don't get above your raising
Sell your damn soul
Or get right with the man
Keep treading water as long as you can
But whatever you do
You must understand
That you don't get above your raising
No you don't get above your raising
Cuz it's one for the somber
And two for the stone
And three for the ready to get low low low low
Four for the fortunate few that don't know
The difference between what should be
And what's so
Reach for the sky
Kneel down and pray
Get in the dirt and
Get out of the way
But don't you forget
'til you climb in that grave
That you don't get above your raising
One for the somber
Two for the stone
Three for the ready to get low low low low
Four for the fortunate few that don't know
The difference between what should be
And what's so
One for the somber
Two for the stone
Three for the ready to get low low low low
Four for the fortunate
Few that don't know
The difference between what should be
And what's so
