Drink It Down Lyrics

First there's the oldest, he plows the field
Keeps a rasher in his back pocket, just like his father did
His wife is a rocket, but she'll never yield
At least his land is fertile, at least he has his field
The younger brother's stupid, who wants to be in power
And smart enough to have it, and smart enough to cower
And emerges from the flames after everything turns sour
This land is all you said they'd put him in power
Who never did anything wrong, he cried, down from his tower
Who never did anything wrong, he said they'd put him in power

They're not our people, so drink it down
It's all surreal, drink it down
One more for the road, drink it down
One more for the road, shoot it down

Now hold on a minute, looks better through a vignette
There's an interest and everyone seems to forget
Every bloodline's got blood
Blood on his hands
And there's something that's rotten that we can't understand

What is it to be human?
What is it to be pure?
An itching for something different that burns to the core
It's the sky that's important, not the land, not the shore
It's the sense of belonging, as I dance a little bit more
We squeezed the tide in but we got no soul
This land was ours but we're in our soil
This mad talk says let's give him a crown
They took our jobs, drink one more down

That wasn't Jesus, that was just some fucker in a dressing gown
That wasn't Jesus, that was just some fucker in a dressing gown

And the oldest emptied his pocket and he chews the fat
And his wife's a rocket, but he'll never leave that
And the youngest is on the pulpit, swings a baseball bat
And the mob finds one more
Someone else to make a face at

What is it to be human?
What is it to be pure?
A god-forsaken beauty that burns to the core
It's the sky that's important, not the land, not the shore
It's the rocket that's important as I carry around the door

And now you know what I was looking for
And now you know what I was looking for
