Half Ass Moses - Hard Working Americans

Everything was shaking

Sky rippled and spit

Brush caught fire

When the lightning hit

The sun had opened

So I could see the land

The Lord had twenty commandments for me

He said, «Show the world»

He said, «Etch them in stone»

I said, «Shit, man!

That sounds like too much work

«For just one man alone»

He said that anyone could do it

I wouldn’t need no help

I said «Screw it then, and do it yourself»

I said do it yourself, it’s complicated

The sun’s coming up and the records fading

I asked you to go

You didn’t say no

You told me that you would

And then you did not show

And then you told me

You never intended to go

You can’t learn something that you already know

I made it alone on the road I’m on (I already knew that)

The here and now or the dead and gone (Oh)

Coming home or the running away

You’re gonna need my help someday

You’re gonna need my help someday

When the record faded

Another one played

The quicker it went

The longer we stayed

The longer we stayed

The less we were moved

By the block we paved and the nothing it proved

I made it alone on the road I’m on

The here and now or the dead and gone

Coming home or the running away

You’re gonna need my help someday

I made it alone on the road I’m on

The here and now or the dead and gone

Coming home or the running away

You’re gonna need my help someday

You’re gonna need my help someday

You’re gonna need my help someday

You’re gonna need my help someday

(when the record faded…)
