Songtext von Quarry

The rain-rotted house on the dead end of baytree, old bitter lady Sits caddy corner to the aftershock from quarry She says: America's a spoiled child that's ignorant of grief But then she gives out full-sized candy bars on halloween We had to add it to the tab To die, we'd have to settle up So we just go until we can't Or burn it down to feel the heat The kletz brothers' parents fight in the yard in their underwear Bobby and jimmy sit in the baby pool with lice in their hair Thay have scoliosis from constant slumps in misery Flat parts on their crew cuts from laying their heads on their knees We had to add it to the tab To die, we'd have to settle up So we just go until we can't Or burn it down to feel the heat Georgie set fire to acres of cotton setting off model rockets Kid from the jewish family got the preacher's kid pregnant They sent her off and we never heard too much more about it Sweet talke never lasts and you learn to go on without it We had to add it to the tab To die, we'd have to settle up So we just go until we can't Or burn it down to feel the heat Somebody called the cops on mandy and her boyfriend When they busted in they found that her house was a front for a mob thing They pulled guns and cocaine from the drywall wrapped in newspaper We gathered in the tall grass and watched unblinking as they cuffed 'em And then hauled 'em away We had to add it to the tab To die, we'd have to settle up So we just go until we can't Or burn it down to feel the heat When we give up, we go To sleep
