about
This song was written by accident. Dave's dad misheard him playing a Nirvana song badly and started singing "Keep Digging, we're gonna dig our way out of this hole".
The rest was written on the day Barak Obama was inaugurated whilst witnessing one of the strangest ceremonies of all time. It was nice to see Dick Cheney in ill health and we wanted to keep the memory of that evil prick in his wheelchair alive for the next time we felt down. This is how we did it
lyrics
It's hard to use the right amount of syllables at minus ten
But somehow they manage it in Sweden
It's hard to show enthusiasm for the job you hate
I'm still drunk and i don't wanna go
And it's hard to refuse the offer of make-up sex
I miss the warm afterglow
In a world of bad ideas, it's the first one that appears
But sometimes it's hard to say No
I agreed to some extent as the words rolled off her tongue
But feared her motivation
Now the writing's on the wall
And the bailiff's at the door
He wants answers and he won't take No
And he just called Rover a bitch
That dog won Best In Show
Rover put your back into it, we're gonna dig our way out of this whole
Keep digging, keep digging
We're gonna dig our way out of this whole
Mountain-worth of forms I've gotta fill in
If I want a crisis loan
My diet really isn't very filling
Fourteen weeks of beans on toast
And the papers say it's only the beginning
And they know more than we know
This weekend we decided we'd be pinning
All our hopes on Barack O.
Keep digging, keep digging
We're gonna dig our way out of this whole
What the hell's Aretha Franklin singing?
Seems somewhat off-tone
Who the hell's this fella Joe Biden?
I don't remember giving him my vote
And it seems now that Dick Cheney needs wheeling
Is there justice after all?
We graciously accept the second coming
Goodbye Doctor Strangelove!
Keep digging, keep digging
We're gonna dig our way out of this whole
And if we don't, we can always live in denial
Pretend we never tried
If that don't work, there's always suicide
You can jump off a cliff or slit your throat
I don't mind, as long as we're in the same sinking boat
I don't mind, as long as we're in the same sinking boat
