PETE TOWNSHEND lyrics : "Dig"

[Old Farmers:]
We old ones, have seen two wars
We old ones, have seen two wars


[Father:]
When you're sick and afraid

And there's danger around
Take a pick and a spade
And cut into the ground

Away from the light
Away from the sound
Make a trap for the beast

Dig his burial mound
Dig for your life
Dig to the death

Dig for salvation
Till your very last breath
Dig for protection

Dig for release
Dig for resurrection
Dig for peace


[Old Farmers:]
We old ones, have seen two wars


[Father:]
When you dream of a laser

That sears your soul
Slices like a razor
Burns like cool

You can bet you'll forget
When the rocks start to roll
And the last meets the least

By the watering hole

Dig it down deep

Dig it out wide
Dig it for pleasure
Dig it for pride

Dig it for treasure
Dig it for stones
Dig it for the metal

And dig it for the bones

(Dig it)


Dig it down deep
Dig it out wide

Dig it for pleasure
Dig it for pride
Dig it for treasure

Dig it for stones
Dig it for the metal
And dig it for the bones


(Dig)


[Solo]

[Old Farmers:]

We old ones, have seen two wars
We old ones, have seen two wars


Dig it down deep
Dig it out wide
Dig it for pleasure

Dig it for pride
Dig it for treasure
Dig it for stones

Dig it for the metal
And dig it for the bones


Dig for your life
Dig to the death
Dig for salvation

Till your very last breath
Dig for protection
Dig for release
Dig for resurrection
Dig for peace

We old ones, have seen two wars
