At night we plant bones

In the dark as you children sleep

You should know by now

There is always something moving

Under your feet


Black water runs deep

Underneath these titanic plates

Where you build your homes

You tie up your safety nets


When these plates meet

It is mountains they make

Yeah when these bones shift

There's an earthquake


Watch your step

You should keep your head down

You never know what tomorrow will bring around

Hold onto what good fortune you have found

For you are walking on

Unsteady ground 


We will drill the earth

And you'll ride that slick

When it dirties your hands

It's a dirty trick


But it's like quicksand you know

To distinguish the top from the undertow

It gets harder 

As your eyes and your bellies grow


Watch your step

You should keep your head down

You never know what tomorrow will bring around

Hold onto what good fortune you have found

For you are walking on


You love God 

Yes, you love your president

You want them both

But we must keep them separate

The left hand don't know where the right hand is at yet

The children don't know yet that we're bombing Baghdad


Keep your head down

We are walking on

Unsteady ground
