Lyrics

'Wisdom's Tooth' 

I'm cold as a grave
On sunny goodbye days
I cover up 
My gentle ways
You seem to see
The thing I can't place a finger on
You pick it up
Like sugar lumps
Well it ain't me
And you're wrong...
 
I'm sick of fools
N' sneaky faces mean
Break all the rules
Things I aim to believe
These broken tools
Well they won't break me
I'm a deck a' cards
But I ain't dealin' pity
 
Too much to bear
Too little time
To carry out a life
We're all goin' down a long line
So far to go
And too far through
So help me Lord I know your name
But I don't know what you do
 
These whips n' chains
Marry us to death
We walk as one
And as one we forget...
All take a chance
To rid this silent drone
As one for freedom
We pray for peace alone
 
Rideout the rot
Look back on our brother
We tie the knot
N' we push and pull each other
To swing the bell
That toils away our youth
T' sing to this hell
Strong as wisdom's tooth
 
It's too much to bear
Too little time
To carry out a life
We're all goin' down a long line
So far to go
And it's too far through
So help me Lord I know your name
But I don't know
Oh help me Lord I know your name
But I don't know what you do
 
What is it you do?
I don't know what you do
Tell me what is it you do?
Cos I don't know what you do
No I don't know what you do
No I don't know what it is you do...

Cool beginning with nice acoustic guitar, bass and subdued vocals from Maria. Then all hell breaks loose with blistering guitar and those powerhouse vocals. Nice!
