Brought you up from your red knees to shiny black shoes They twisted your arm to keep you from harm You've got some nerves You've got some medicine Gonna fix you up right They twisted your arm to keep you from harm But now they're holding you down Pulling a fast one with their pin prick Nickel plated fossils out Trilobite trash talking 'Bout the way you went around Digging down, digging down In the ground
All your friends joining rival gangs But you're a neutral man Threw the gears in drive or reverse But you're in neutral, man Those disembodied voices They spoke to you They chose you But now they're holding you down Pulling a fast one with their pin prick Nickel plated fossils out Trilobite trash talking 'Bout the way you went around Digging down, digging down In the ground
