Lyrics

All my flannels made in Bangladesh

All my T-shirts in Vietnam

There are places that we quietly ignore

There are places that we go and bomb

You know I thought an awful lot about Jesus

Even more about Lao Tzu

They say that the way of the Tao is to do nothing

Then what the hell am I supposed to do?

You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink

The tighter you grip, the more that you slip

So I'm singing this song about loving

All the people that you've come to hate

It's true what they say, I'm gonna die someday

Why am I holding on to all this weight?

You know, I really thought that there'd be power

In thinking half of y'all was just born fools

Thought I was gathering oats for my horses

I was getting by whipping my mules

There's a book I read I don't remember

There's a place I've been I'd never seen

There's a note that I wrote that went up in smoke

There's some songs I don't ever sing

All the stars in the sky are burning

Mostly burning unbeknownst to me

I wish I would've paid more attention

To the bigger things I didn't see

You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink

The tighter your grip, the more that you slip

So I'm singing this song about loving

All the people that you've come to hate

It's true what they say, I'm gonna die someday

Why am I holding on to all this weight?

You know I really thought that there'd be power

In thinking half of y'all was just born fools

Thought I was gathering oats for my horses

I was getting by whipping my mules

I got some bricks so thick that they don't make sense

In the walls up in my mind

But life is pretty short and the road's got forks

So I take them down while I got time

You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink

The tighter your grip, the further you slip

So I'm singing this song about loving

All the people that you've come to hate

It's true what they say, I'm gonna die someday

Why am I holding on to all this weight?

You know I really thought that there'd be power

In thinking half of y'all was just born fools

Thought I was gathering oats for my horses

I was getting by whipping my mules
