From the Cradle

From the Cradle by Widespread Panic and William Tonks

Listening to music and ignoring the world today. :)

From The Cradle

Black hole, paradise found
something so dark and something so bright
Blue skies over our head
Why the hell is everything turning out gray?

All things are not what they seem
The man behind the curtain is probably mean

Deep six keeps the population down
Broke and soaking wet, floating around
Keep your head down, keep your voice down
Ohh listen to the sound
All the races, all the faces
Just might find a winner lying on the ground

Learn to take it, meditate it
Can’t fake it now
From the cradle you’ve been labeled
About as stable as a drunk on shaky ground

Blind luck stumbling into a tree
Would’ve passed by if I could have seen
Got no cares I never felt pressed
I wonder what they’re getting for a pound of flesh?
Hunker down now throwing a shoe
Dogs new tricks Something they can’t use

Deep six keeps the population down
Broke and soaking wet, floating around
Keep your head down keep your voice down
Ohh listen to the sound
All the faces, you can't shake 'em now now
Just might find a winner lying on the ground

Learn to take it, try to shake it
All the faces, you can't shake 'em now now
From the cradle you’ve been labeled
About as stable as a drunk on shaky ground

Goodpeople by Widespread Panic

We are the good people
The ones they told you about
The ones that disappeared
Behind the calling of the sun
Like footprints to the sea
They dance upon the rising storm
Ten thousand voices singing
Hardly thrills our soul

Louder and louder
Hear the engines roar
Faster and faster
Fables overturned
Tighter and tighter
Oh the lightning flash
Closer and closer
Here are your waters so drink and be whole again

Machines that make their rounds
Don't care if they ever see the dawn
It'll be peaceful flowing rivers
After the winter's come and gone
Some are weak and wounded
Others sick and sore
Old woman at the well
Dropping roses from planted thorns

Louder and louder
Hear the engines roar
Faster and faster
Fables overturned
Tighter and tighter
Oh the lightning flash
Closer and closer
Here are your waters so drink and be whole again

We are the good people
The ones they told you about
One kiss of mother nature
Her spirit waits in light

Louder and louder
Hear the engines roar
Faster and faster
Fables overturned
Tighter and tighter
Oh the lightning flash
Closer and closer
Here are your waters so drink
Here are your waters so drink and be whole again
Be whole again

Both songs widely available for free on the internet since Panic allows its fans to record its shows and pass them around for free. Bt.etree.org is a good place if you know how to use bit torrent. Otherwise, I'm sure google will help find them.
