Hole In The Ground

And they say to me stay out of trouble
Before you are in a hole in the ground
If you see some daylight, welcome it in — come on in
Don’t go hiding away, crawling into the darkest place
With no light to see, you’ll fall — fall into the hole
People see me as digging a hole — no, no
They’ve got it ass-backwards
And they’re seeing cock-eyed
I’m not digging a hole, I’m building up a mountain of hope
And they say to me
Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground
Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground
From what I see, there’s no method here at all
Let’s kill the complaining
For the solutions we could be gaining
But my 60's dictionary tells me
This idea could really blow my mind
People stop and question me of my plans
And who the hell I think I am
But what they see and get is so far off the target
I’m not digging a hole, I’m building up a mountain of hope
And they say to me
Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground
Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground
Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground
Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground
