And nothing to show but destitution
For the rest of your days
You must dig a deeper hole and then you'll feel better
[Chorus]
By and large, blood of the vine
Fruit of the womb, sweat of the brow
And nothing to show but destitution
For the rest of your days
You must dig a deeper hole and then you'll feel better
[Outro]
Dig a deeper hole and then you'll feel better
Dig a deeper hole and then you'll feel better
Dig a deeper hole and then you'll feel better
And then you'll feel better
