Up and down, never mind the level
If down were up you couldn't get much higher
Digging deep, working with your shovel
Trying to set your soul on fire
Trying to set your soul on fire
It don't burn
These easy things are hard to learn
Boy it don't burn These easy things are hard to learn
Night and day, always at the ready
Working hard to find that easy life
What you say, we just try to keep it steady
Easy work is hard to find
Easy work is hard to find
Just keep your head low
What they don't see they'll never know
Just keep your head low
What they don't see they'll never know
Truth or lies, it doesn't really matter
Hard to tell when the judge is blind
Heaven knows it's on one end of the ladder
But hell is just a state of mind
I think hell is just a state of mind
It's the hardest kind
Hard to take but I don't mind
It's the hardest kind
It's hard to take but I don't mind
I mind my brain
It's real enough to shatter
Behind my eyes or between my ears
I think of mind as the ruler of the matter
And it's nothing but the winding of the gears
It ain't nothing but the winding of the gears
It seems so real
It's nothing but the spinning of the wheel
It seems so real
It's nothing but the spinning of the wheel
