Lyrics

Selling Shovels

Had to come to terms with the fact that

I was defeated

I always jumped straight to the part about how they died

And their net worth

Everyone's eating dessert

Sorry for disturbing dessert

A series of presidential wardrobe malfunctions preceded

Hitting the bottom line (Who-hah)

Hitting the bottom line (Who-hah)

Dragged the poor boys to the winters war

And the heavens ripped open

Its always the toughest nut to crack

When the numbers are speaking

Everyones eating dessert

Sorry for disturbing dessert

Staring at plants and ever so slowly receding

Hitting the bottom line (Who-hah)

Hitting the bottom line (Who-hah)

Staring at us to hit the bottom line

Staring at us to hit the bottom line

Selling shovels

Selling shovels

Selling shovels

See, see them explode

Bombing leaflets with a QR code

Heading for tough terrain that will rip my feet

Wide open

Holding to loves long gone

And the bugles ring through

Hitting the bottom line (Who-hah)

Hitting the bottom line (Who-hah)
