I had a dream last night That I was piloting a plane And all the passengers were drunk and insane I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp Shot up a horde of zombies But I come out on top What's it all about? Guess it just reflects my mood Sitting in the dirt Feeling kind of hurt When all I hear is doom and gloom And all is darkness in my room Through the light your face I see Baby take a chance Baby won't you dance with me Lost all that treasure in an overseas war It just goes to show you, don't get what you paid for Battle to the rich and you worry about the poor Put my feet up on the couch And lock all the doors What's that funky noise Guess that's the tightening of the screws Sitting in the dirt I'm feeling kind of hurt All I hear is doom and gloom But when those drums go boom boom boom And through the night your face I see Baby take a chance Baby won't you dance with me Yeah Baby won't you dance with me Ah yeah Fracking deep for oil But there's nothing in the sump There's kids all picking Ar the garbage dumb I'm running out of water So I better prime the pump I'm trying to stay sober But I end up drunk We'll be eating dirt Living on the side of the road There's some food for thought Kinda makes your head explode Feeling kind of hurt Yeah But all I hear is doom and gloom And all is darkness in my room Through the night your face I see Baby take your chance Won't you dance with me Yeah, come on Baby won't you dance with me I'm feeling kind of hurt Baby won't you dance with me Oh yeah I'm sitting in the dirt Baby won't you dance with me!
