lyrics

It's still so hard
to take this medicine.
Is pulling plows through rocky ground
what heaven sent?

When you can't press two dimes
it's Back to the Salt Mines.

Deciding when
to make a bed of it
is always softer in your head
than under it.

Whatever game you play
whatever choice,
your skin gets rubbed so raw
life's a lucky charm.

Back to the Salt Mines

The garden was a dream
and only dreamers lie
birthright's a bed it seems
everyone gets to try.

May as well punch the clock
a fight this life can't stop
that Sisyphean rock
starts rolling ready or not.

When you can't press two dimes
it's Back to the Salt Mines.

Don't take this as a loss
My eyes just choose to see
each moment as the boss
of me and only me.

Work... you've got to work...

about

Monumental Folly Atlanta, Georgia

Monumental Folly rather speaks for itself, yes? Monumental Folly also embraces a sheer willingness to leave things rough at the edges and to carry through improvisation from start to an often much-attenuated finish. Also singing, for which I apologize.
