And they say to me stay out of trouble Before you are in a hole in the ground If you see some daylight, welcome it in - come on in Don't go hiding away, crawling into the darkest place With no light to see, you'll fall - fall into the hole People see me as digging a hole - no, no They've got it ass-backwards And they're seeing cock-eyed I'm not digging a hole, I'm building up a mountain of hope And they say to me Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground From what I see, there's no method here at all Let's kill the complaining For the solutions we could be gaining But my 60's dictionary tells me This idea could really blow my mind People stop and question me of my plans And who the hell I think I am But what they see and get is so far off the target I'm not digging a hole, I'm building up a mountain of hope And they say to me Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground Stay out of trouble before you are in a hole in the ground
