Yonder comes the eastern sun
Dragging me another day
No place to run
I guess I stay
Someone has to work the soil
Plant the cursed seed
Endure the merciless broil
*** the rampant ****
Wish I were another man
Not in this forsaken place
A heartless God devised this plan
Probably die without a trace
I dream of a blue refreshing lake
A sunlit meadow vast
Relief from this persistent ache
Expunging memory of days past
But alas, there’s no escape
Forever squalid in the dirt
Clothed in this dusty drape
My body in tedious hurt

Yonder comes the eastern sun
Dragging me another day
No place to run
I guess I stay
Someone has to work the soil
Plant the cursed seed
Endure the merciless broil
*** the rampant ****
Wish I were another man
Not in this forsaken place
A heartless God devised this plan
Probably die without a trace
I dream of a blue refreshing lake
A sunlit meadow vast
Relief from this persistent ache
Expunging memory of days past
But alas, there’s no escape
Forever squalid in the dirt
Clothed in this dusty drape
My body in tedious hurt
