Song Information:
I've only got two verses so far, so there may be an update, but I can't get this one out of my head.
The Campfire Inferno band cuts it up again.
A philosophically demanding eulogy to thinking for oneself. You tend to think that the shit and the shovel are unequal, but in whichever way suits your own circumstances, and as Rumi says, we are all the flutes that God is blowing. So who shovels?
Song Lyrics:
You say we're born equal
that's the story, what's the sequel
that ain't no mansion this ain't no hovel
we're bout as equal as the shit and the shovel
preacher man tell me tell me true
is there nothing that I can do
what's on God's mind for me today
back on my knees is that ... all He says?
I cleaned the cowshed, made it sweet
fed the garden, from the heap
grew the veg, stored the fruit
tend the branch, tend the root
