I've been hittin' some hard travelin' I thought you know I've been hittin' some hard travelin' way down the road I've been hittin' some hard travelin' hard ramblin' hard gamblin I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord I've been working that Pittsburgh steel I thought you know By that I mean I go to thrift stores and steal all my clothes if you wanna be dirty, gotta look just right patches, rags, make it look like you've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord I've been riding that megabus I thought you know I scammed me a free ticket right on down the road I don't ride those rails, that's no joke but I still got train track stick n' pokes I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord I've been busking up a living wage I thought you know I'm playin' music and gettin' paid right here on the road in one hour we make more than employees working at these stores this sure is some hard travelin' lord I've been drinkin' way too much I thought you know I took too many swigs, now I'm stumblin' way down the road I broke my banjo, lost my mandolin don't know when I'll see them again I've been drinking that mike's hard lemonade I've been fightin' that system thought that you knew lord I'm rantin' and raving on that message board We've got to take back the power it feels nice in this Ivory Tower I've been clicking towards the revolution lord I've been couch surfing I've been stayin with my friends but they aint sick of me yet, they're true to the end so I drink their beer and eat their food but I don't use their shower, that'd be rude I've been hittin' some hard travelin' lord I've been goin' hungry I thought you know cuz all these dumpsters are empty all along this road I spent my spanging money on marijuana so it's back home for mom's lasagna I've been hitting some hard travelin' lord I've been hittin some hard travelin I thought you know I've been hittin' some hard travelin way down the road This travelin' life really gets you down when you ain't even left your home town I can't wait to start travelin' lord

D/F/E/Eb My teeth are grindin like raggaeton This musics chewin thru my chromosomes Too long I been pacin round this hole Sit back enjoy the show its time for cruise control Bb/A/Dm/BbA This bag of bones is not my own Its just a vessel for my timid soul Bag of bones, got it on loan but it knows what its doin so i leave it alone now its on cruise control D/F/E/Eb Tap dancin on the tarmac Cover my tracks but the facts keep slippin thru the tracks Of my fabrications Inebriation's just a curtain on a dirt stained window Bb/A I'm on a ground bound plane you can have my ticket I'm plannin my landin Know I'm gonna stick it Ridin gravity all the way down this hole Now its on cruise control

Well look at us now. so profound and well rounded somehow this know how will keep us grounded But our ears are numbed from the industrial hum And our eyes are blind from reflection of where we come from We come from the air We come from the sea from the land that gives us all we need But we burn the trees That help us breathe We keep feeding the disease of greed I think theres something in the water I’m choking on this poisoned air All destruction is self destruction Theres no difference between indifference and dispair So dig a hole and toss me in I want to live inside the Earth My only purpose my only worth is go back to the dirt Where I’m from I wish to return maybe then I’ll finally learn But it might be all covered up by time its my turn In broken glass And plastic bags The remains of engrained behaviors Our grave has been paved With the latest upgrades Images of our hallow saviors These and more Will lace the floor When we embrace our open sore What will we learn when it’s our turn Will be grow or will we burn? We won’t find salvation in the allegience we have sworn No warnings or reform will stop the coming storm No policies or philosophies or self defeating technologies We’ll have to die before we are reborn Spirit and mind All is divine We are all we see Don’t be blind To our common ties I am you and you are me From the creatures we step on to the blazing cosmos The sleeping cells the air we breathe We’re all born from the same beautiful chaos When we realize we are one we will be free
