lyrics

Wouldn’t call myself a sinner but I can make a crooked buck.
And I can’t just give up living and my costs are going up.
So if I make it up to heaven and Saint Peter holds me up
You can blame these idol hands, these crooked deals, this empty gut.

My birthright is a burnt out city.
And ten thousand tons of rust.
Take the copper I can carry just to make a couple bucks.
Because my rent is getting higher as my town grinds into dust.
Under a wave of motor oil and a choking cloud of rust.

How’s the rent?
How’s the crime?
How’s the food?  Well there ain’t none.
It's all over but the dying.

How’s the rent?
How’s the crime?
How’s the food?  Well there ain’t none.
It's all over but the dying.

Dig a shallow grave

Like the old Edmund Fitz going down all hands aboard.
But us rats down in the bilges we already know the score.
So we take what we can carry and we're headed west in hordes.
While you scratch your head and wonder as the waves all crash aboard.

When you bury me in Lansing let it read on my headstone
Here lies a true son of his city may she guard his broken bones.
In this grave and not another may she sooth his weary soul.
So if you bury me in Lansing at least my town won’t die alone.

How’s the rent?
How’s the crime?
How’s the food? Well there ain’t none.
It's all over but the dying.

Dig a shallow grave

Awesome album, of what I may call Celticpunkrock . I don´t want to compare them to DKM, for me personally Mickey Rickshaw is much more complex than DKM in their blend of celtic and punk music. Heiko
