Dirt

I've been here since the earth began

I live in many different colors

It may look beautiful, the land

With its nice new human cover


Chorus

But I am dirt, I'm still the same,

The same, the same, as when you came

You turn it over, try to hide

The filth still lies down deep inside

I am dirt.


It's nice and new

Once the poison's out of sight

You say it's through

And everything's all right with us

Go ahead and talk straight with us


Chorus

But I am dirt, I'm still the same

The same, the same, as when you came

You turn it over, try to hide

The filth still lies down deep inside

I am dirt.


You take the same old dirt

Turn it over and call it brotherhood

I am dirt. (5x)

(sim., under) Turn it over, turn it over (5x)

I am dirt.
