Circle - Earthworm lyrics

rate me

Life is cheap if you got no cash<br />

You can pay lay away<br />

Let that money be your game<br />

Sure you want to play.<br />

Borrow against what you don't have<br />

Pay it down to pay it back<br />

Take a chance to break away<br />

Feel the whip 'cross your back.<br />

Tote that barge and lift that bail,<br />

What they cried long ago<br />

Fifty large to ride that rail<br />

Well, that's just how it goes.<br />

<br />

Earthworm thrives on the dirt<br />

He is legion with no man's friend<br />

Bad boys from New Orleans.<br />

<br />

Bought a small tank and hit the road<br />

Feel the heat, breath the dust<br />

Scratch your name at the barrel's end<br />

Never know who to trust.<br />

Uptown, Downtown, know your place<br />

Could be a heavy fine<br />

Make sure no one sees your face as<br />

You sneak across the line.<br />

Try to look as though you belong<br />

Don't look straight in the eyes<br />

Keep your head down and do not smile<br />

Boy, don't you ever cry.<br />

<br />

Earthworm thrives on the dirt<br />

Meets a man at the riverbed<br />

Bad boys, they're from East L.A.<br />

<br />

Players strive to make their mark<br />

With the money they make.<br />

Hoping they don't cross a narc<br />

Or a foe on the take.<br />

They don't care who they hurt<br />

Or who has to die.<br />

If they're 'round just be alert<br />

Ain't no reason why.<br />

<br />

Does the Devil guide their sin?<br />

Does he plan from below?<br />

Or is the evil within the man?<br />

Greed and lust make it grow.<br />

Make your money off other's pain<br />

Keep the poor people high.<br />

When their misery is your gain,<br />

Don't you stop 'n' wonder why.<br />

<br />

Like a cancer the sickness grows<br />

Money keeps it alive.<br />

How many dead? God only knows,<br />

And kids believe the lie.<br />

How high will the bodies pile?<br />

How many moms will bury sons?<br />

We turn away all the while<br />

Feeling nothing to be done.<br />

<br />

Earthworm thrives on the dirt<br />

He has no future on the wheel<br />

Bad boys from Birmingham<br />

<br />
