Rot to Fill

Electric Three Minstrel
Rot To Fill

Darling, darling you see I’ve got this rotten thing
And it hits me every time I see our dying hotel room
And the manager boss say I’m just another tired old hoss
And you know I’m bound to give way soon

I’ve still got time to fix this mess I pray
I’ve got a debt to pay it’s true
I’ve gotta rot to fill this hole I’ve made
It’s six feet deep and I’m leaving soon

I love the sight of my city late at night
With the Christmas lights a flashin’ with the sirens as they swell
Some poor sucker’s set his score for twenty years or more
And the almighty bill has won another soul for hell

But you and me we got our own separate place
Where the people all can greet us with a smile upon their face
And the troubles that we got are bout the things we don’t have now
Not the shoes upon our feet or what to eat and how

I’ve still got time to fix this mess I pray
I’ve got a debt to pay it’s true
I’ve gotta rot to fill this hole I’ve made
It’s six feet deep and I’m leaving soon

So take the money when they give it to ya honey
And give it quick to the ones who done us wrong
Do what you can with whatever you got left
And don’t you worry bout me none because I’ll see you fore too long

I’ve still got time to fix this mess I pray
I’ve got a debt to pay it’s true
I’ve gotta rot to fill this hole I’ve made
It’s six feet deep and I’m leaving soon

"Rot to Fill" by 15-16 puzzle

I rot to fill
The empty coffin at the top of the hill
My name is mud
It's hard to read it cuz it's written in blood

I wanna drink (DRINK!)
I wanna fight (FIGHT!)
I want a back alley brawl even though it's not right
I wanna fight (FIGHT!)
I wanna drink (DRINK!)
I wanna prove 'em all wrong just before I get a chance to think

I rot to fill
And you should too
I rot to fill

Your time has come
You think I'm boring, well at least I'm not dumb
You'll get you due
You'll wish you hadn't by the time I was through

You're gonna run (RUN!)
You're gonna hide (HIDE!)
But it really doesn't matter when you're damaged inside
You're gonna hide (HIDE!)
You're gonna run (RUN!)
You're gonna hafta take a minute from the anthem of the setting sun

You rot to fill
And I should too
You rot to fill

Stop all the anger and look what you've done
Stop on a dime
Can't turn back time
Pale shoeless corpses can't be that much fun
I'll take a shot
Before I rot
We can't take the chance that the big kids have got it

Thanks for all the compliments, but you're really much too kind
Cuz I'd kill to see your body, but I'd rot to fill your mind
We'll take the long way home again, and we'll leave 'em all behind
Cuz I'd kill to see your body, but I'd rot to fill your mind
I'd rot to fill your mind
I'd rot to fill your mind

"rot to fill"
de matt the oscillator

i watched my bones turn yellow
i watched my friends every day
i see explosions in the sky
i have no air but i scream

my bones cry out in pain
this is the 10th day on the wall
all i can do is turn to you
and just ask when i'll fall

Mouth Reliant - Rot to Fill

There you go again
With more rot to fill
The empty cup
You built to spill
It trickles down, trickles down, trickles down
To the children, it will.

In citrus tears
From your Valencia eyes
Everybody’s blind
To your clever disguise
It trickles down, trickles down, trickles down
From the Florida skies

I won’t believe what your experts say.
I don’t believe in the FDA.
We’re sipping insanity every day.
‘Coz people in power want us that way.

Make no mistake
You can’t break it or take it away
My mind’s not for sale today.

Make no mistake
You can’t break it or take it away
My mind’s not for sale today.

There you go again
With more rot to fill
The minds of those
You train to kill
It trickles down, trickles down, trickles down
To the people, it will.

The pulpy mass
Between their ears
Is ripe for programming.
The message is clear.
It trickles down, trickles down, trickles down
In puddles of fear.

I won’t believe what your experts say.
I don’t believe in the FDA.
We’re sipping insanity every day.
‘Coz people in power want us that way.

Make no mistake
You can’t break it or take it away
My mind’s not for sale today.

Make no mistake
You can’t break it or take it away
My mind’s not for sale today.

Mabel, Mabel, if you’re able
Set another place on the periodic table
We’ve a guest for dinner
A guest for dinner
And reheat the meat ‘coz God looks thinner
Jackknifed Mack on the 409
Changed the groundwater into wine
But I took a bath on the bathtub gin
With an orange peel and a hard-luck grin
The FBI’s at the IGA
With the CIA, squaring things away
They know what I’m thinking
They know what we’re thinking
Mind control drugs in the juice we’re drinking
That TV spot with the straw through the skin,
That’s the kind of state we’ll all be in
Mindless drones from concentrate
Frozen and canned in a servile state
They want us to think it’s all healthy and fun
And logo their product with a big grinning sun
Can you see it smiling
See it smiling
Their miserable mascots are so beguiling
More propaganda for the bourgeoisie
To keep their ignorant minds at ease
‘Cos whenever a thought from the fold has strayed
The government wants it for marmalade
Picture Big Brother squeezing our minds
And juicing our souls and licking the rinds
Of our hollow freedom
Our hollow freedom
Put on your necktie and bow down and feed him
Buying up all the agricultural land
Big Brother and Big Citrus go hand in hand
The federal fruit of the federal farms
Are injected with things that can do us great harm
BE DISTRUSTFUL OF UNFAMILIAR ORANGE LIQUDS
DON’T BE FOOLED
YOU CAN PRESERVE YOUR INDEPENDENT THOUGHT
