Nod to the Folks

[Verse 1] Fooled from the start to the end Flagged as a mark in a hazy den Cooled in the camp of the dead Asleep on a bed with a mystery stain Never cared what anyone else said Get out of the head [Pre-Chorus] Step over the private design [Chorus] Nod to the folks Keeping us close Up to the gods Evens and odds Refining ore Anyone's joke Trying to be Free from the yoke [Verse 2] Spooked, but it's only the wind Strapped to a carcass or an empty vase True, but it's only a bet Hid from the light in a garbage can Don't know if it's alive or dead A gust on the plain [Pre-Chorus] It isn't a joke, it's the time [Chorus] Nod to the folks Keeping us close Up to the gods Evens and odds Refining ore Anyone's joke Trying to be Free from the yoke
