The Stain Lyrics by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

Grand Opening and Closing!

2001

[Verse 1]
A man is digging in the delta
In the dark soil with his bare hands
To work the land for generations
Is he a fool?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
And I am working in my garden
To stem the tide of grass and weeds
With the green machine and rototiller
I break for lunch
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The man has planted all his seeds now
His tired hands are black with oil
Nothing grows
The man is thin and hungry because he's lazy
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
The seeds are sprouting in my garden
My soft white hands are stained with blood
Again this year I will reap the harvest that I deserve
