Lyrics
Go to Ground
You never thought that at your age, you’d be working two jobs for minimum wage
Scrolling down a cell phone screen, wondering when people got so mean
You could have messed it up yourself, but this time you had help
Everybody go to ground, ashes, ashes we all fall down
Watching death counts on TV, the latest news from Italy
Your wife is holed up with her phone, you live together but you’re all alone
You could have messed it up yourself, but this time you had help
Everybody go to ground, ashes, ashes we all fall down
You used to think that at your age, you’d be playing guitar like Jimmy Page
Rocking at the local bar with an IRA and a Vox guitar
You could have messed it up yourself, but this time you had help
Everybody go to ground, ashes, ashes we all fall down
