The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir - Decomposition Blues Lyrics

We've thrown our stones
We've named our targets, slung our arrows
With corpse and bones
Laid firm foundation for tomorrow
And we've risen above
And soundly around our position
Seems all's correct
'Cept that stench of decomposition

We've been the minds
Like fists wrapped tightly
Round conclusions
Accommodate the past
Just to keep with the profusion
As decay starts to waft of dangerous history
With thought and flame
We decompose as much as necessary

I'm not dreamin' about what was
Hold no stock in yesterday cause
It's just the same
Suffer the greed through wars and cancer
Profit from need, conceal the answers
These bones will rot in wait of change

Dig these bones, stew these bones
Beat the bones and deal these bones
Dig these bones, stew these bones
Beat the bones and deal these bones
Dig these bones, stew these bones
Beat the bones and deal these bones
Dig these bones, stew these bones
Beat the bones and deal these bones

We've thrown our stones
We've named our targets, slung our arrows
With corpse and bones
Laid firm foundation for tomorrow
And we've risen above
And soundly around our position
Seems all's correct
'Cept that stench of decomposition
Seems all's correct
'Cept that stench of decomposition

If this is peace who's peace is it?
If this is war baby let's get with it
If this is hate better find me some
But if this is love I don't want none
