Will Oldham - Under What Was Oppression lyrics

You do not have to be ignorant For me to get on with you Rather you do If anything is to shine through Brainless to me is broad And bold in most ways Playful when scowling Your manner betrays you Before you wake up I am making my living Breathing cursing Misbehaving God has given me no gift To speak honestly to myself Or to decide strongly In another's company Tonight I think of her When where she is was said To be a possible place Some friends of mine would head to Before you wake up I am making my living Breathing cursing Misbehaving I cannot decide Work will do it for me And I will not know yet If she chooses to ignore me
