How much do heavy thoughts weigh ? Just enough to crush you Just enough to squeeze you through the unforgiving sewer grates of life They roll over you like a high rise pick-up truck on a drunken Saturday night See those possum eyes open wide before splat How much do you really think ? Perhaps as much as thirty pieces of silver or your brothers keeper . How much do heavy thoughts oppress you ? Subdue you ? Demean you ? Demote you ? Destroy you ? Deport you ? Only God knows and he's not saying .
