Axes to Grind Lyrics

Take out your axes to grind

You’re both of the same mind

Too bloody to ignore

But, hey, who’s keeping score

Watch that boat sink into the bottom of the ocean

That’s where they all belong

Stripes in the sky, you fly so high

Let your colors show

You’re in the same place, and what a disgrace

You’ve turned that place into

I can’t believe every night when I read what you

Do to your brother in doubt

‘Advantage to you? No, advantage to me!’

I tell you it’s just got to stop

Watch that boat sink into the bottom of the ocean

That’s where they all belong

Now the big boys step in

Not that their hands have no sin

Slugging it out, there’s still grief

Young blood still drips on your streets

Watch that boat sink into the bottom of the ocean

That’s where they all belong

Cracks in the hull, like cracks in a skull

Oh, they’ve been there so long

Water leaks in like the red on their skin

No one there to bail it out

Rips in the sails as the documents fail

But, there’s always a new one to sign

God! It’s enough! Your Monkeyhouse! Tough!

Lord! Have you given up?
