lyrics

Worm by Kai Eckhardt c 2011


Some say what up are is nothing but a slimy bottom feeder
Some say what you do is help them on a Friday catch a fish or two.
Some would step on you, squash your little body on the rainy pavement
Few know what you bring is so much more than meets the naked

Eye (I) no longer wonder why the first would be the last
And the last would be the first.
You should not be surprised if the one who saves your life tomorrow
Comes from six feet under.

Worm, you little coil in the soil get the scrapple from the apple and the meat off the street,
Worm, crawling through the night out of sight, underground what you find you will grind,
Worm, nibble on that pebble that you found underground leaving minerals behind.
The grass is green ‘cause you do your thing, undisputed master of recycling

Some say what you are is nothing but a nasty little creepy crawly,
Some say what you do is crawl in two directions when they cut you in two,
Some cremate the dead, so you can not get a hold of their leftovers,
If you die instead, gone will be the days of wine and roses here upon this

Earth would be a wasteland if the service you portray finally would go away
Nobody breaks down the funk with a passion quite like you, now I know your love is true

Worm, you little coil in the soil get the scrapple from the apple and the meat off the street,
Worm, crawling through the night out of sight, underground what you find you will grind,
Worm, nibble on that pebble that you found underground leaving minerals behind.
The grass is green ‘cause you do your thing, undisputed master of recycling
