lyrics

4. Arrowheads

This ground is full of money;
Andy tips the blonde another five.
She puts us in the booth that overlooks the silent green:
It’s good to be alive.

We’re never going to finish up here;
The spills will shut them down before they’re done.
These skeletons we’re building on this rumour of a road
They’re all just for fun.

We’re just digging up arrowheads,
Playing with toys;
Our smiles are as wide
As the sandbox is wide
As the mountainside,
Miles wide
For all you prideful boys.

Now they’re sayin’ this dirt is sacred ground,
But my family is sacred to me.
I don’t know law, I don’t know politics;
I only know the job: overtime ain’t free.

So maybe this wasn’t our hill,
And just maybe our machines don’t belong,
But maybe there’s somebody getting richer somewhere else
For something more wrong.

Hey man, we’re just digging up arrowheads,
Playing with toys playing with toys,
Our smiles are as wide
has the sandbox is wide
As the mountainside,
Miles wide
For all you prideful boys.
