Текст песни From the Cradle - Widespread Panic

Black hole paradise
Found out of something so dark
Into something so bright
Blue sky over our heads
Why the hell is everything
Turning out grey now

All things are not what they seem
The man behind the curtain
He's probably mean

Deep six keeps the population down
Broken, soaking wet, lost and floating around
Keep your head down, keep your voice down
Listen to the sound
All the races, all the faces
Just might find a winning line on the ground
Learn to take it, try to shake it
You can't fake it now

From the cradle you've been labeled
About as stable as a drunk on shaky ground

Blind luck stumbled into a tree
I would have passed by if I could have seen
Got no cares, never felt pressed
Wonder what they're getting for a pound of flesh
Bark it down now, throw in the chute
Old dog's new trick, something they can use

Deep six keeps the population down
Souls wet and broke, lost and floating around
Keep your head down, keep your voice down
Listen to the sound
All the races, all the faces
Just might find a winning line on the ground
Learn to take it, try to shake it
You can't fake it now
From the cradle you've been labeled
About as stable as a drunk on shaky ground

Black hole paradise
Found out of something so dark
Into something so bright
Blue sky over our heads
Why the hell is everything
Turning out grey now

All things are not what they seem
The man behind the curtain
He's probably mean

Deep six keeps the population down
Broken, soaking wet, lost and floating around
Keep your head down, keep your voice down
Listen to the sound
All the races, all the faces
Just might find a winning line on the ground
Learn to take it, try to shake it
You can't fake it now
From the cradle you've been labeled
