At night we plant bones
In the dark as you children sleep
You should know by now

There is always something moving
Under your feet


Black water runs deep
Underneath these titanic plates
Where you build your homes

You tie up your safety nets

When these plates meet

It is mountains they make
Yeah when these bones shift
There's an earthquake


Watch your step
You should keep your head down

You never know what tomorrow will bring around
Hold onto what good fortune you have found
For you are walking on

Unsteady ground

We will drill the earth

And you'll ride that slick
When it dirties your hands
It's a dirty trick


But it's like quicksand you know
To distinguish the top from the undertow

It gets harder
As your eyes and your bellies grow


Watch your step
You should keep your head down
You never know what tomorrow will bring around

Hold onto what good fortune you have found
For you are walking on


You love God
Yes, you love your president
You want them both

But we must keep them separate
The left hand don't know where the right hand is at yet
The children don't know yet that we're bombing Baghdad


Keep your head down
We are walking on

Unsteady ground
