That's enough, my man, it's time to clap our hands
Call the papers up tomorrow, say we did the best we can
Cause our doctor's in the hospital, the poet just laid down
There's one good man I know, and he can't talk right now
I'd like to hear what you'd say to me if I was bulletproof and free again
Or what you'd shout if I was dead in the ground, and buried under another name
Or would you talk about if I loved her now
Tell my sins to God out loud
Would you cry, cry 'cause I was gone
Would you spit and hiss and curse my name
And embarrass me to the other graves
Would you lay right down with me, underneath the ground
Now who you think I am Worse than all the rest
That's what I'll be now, just like no one said
Did anybody see that There's a crack right down my head
But mama, how they'll cheer for us, while the blood drips down our legs
I'd like to know if you could see through the soul like I could see to your soul back then
And reach your hands through all the hurt and defenses, would you still try if you knew I was gone
Or would you talk about if I loved her now
Tell my sins to God out loud
Would you cry, cry 'cause I was gone
Would you spit and hiss and curse my name
And embarrass me to the other graves
Would you lay right down with me, underneath the ground
Underneath the ground
I wanna caution you to watch out for the wolves
And for the mad, mad weather
I wanna caution you to watch out for the wolves
And for someday, when you're older
Or would you talk about if I loved her now
Tell my sins to God out loud
Would you cry, cry 'cause I was gone
Would you spit and hiss and curse my name
And embarrass me to the other graves
Would you lay right down with me, underneath the ground
Underneath the ground
I wanna thank you all for your courtesy
I wanna thank you all for watching us bleed
I wanna thank you all for your courtesy
I wanna thank you all for watching us bleed
Underneath the ground
