Down in the Dirt 

Down in the dirt

Where it doesn’t matter if you’re kind or curt

We’re all the same, we’re all inert

When we’re down in the dirt

Down in the dirt

Where the powers that be can no longer exert

We’re all the same, we’re all inert

When we’re down in the dirt

You tried to ruin your life and mine

But not to worry, you’ll do plenty of time when you’re …

Down in the dirt

Where everybody gets his just deserts

We’re all the same, we’re all inert

When we’re down in the dirt

Practicing the politics of division

Rule the world with one supreme court decision

But at the bottom of your grave dark and cold

You’ll soon find out that one per cent is

Just a tiny fraction of the whole when you’re …

Down in the dirt

Where even God forgot how many people you hurt

We’re all the same, we’re all inert

When we’re down in the dirt

So you can take your money and shove it up your ass

‘Cause where you’re headed, there is no first class when you’re …

Down in the dirt

Where the snakes and scorpions can crawl up your skirt

We’re all the same, we’re all inert

When we’re down in the dirt
