"Everyone Will Crawl" Lyrics

It's a long hard road
from creation to the grave
Too many lost souls down here
too few of them are saved

It's a real big picture
starring one and all
Everyone here will play the fool
everyone will crawl
Everyone will crawl

It's a mass production
it's everywhere you are
From the slaughter of the innocent
to the burning of the farm

Nothing is too certain here
everybody's armed
The only thing that's guaranteed
is everyone will crawl
Everyone will crawl

Yeah, we crawl through the heartbreak
We're crawling through the weeds
We're crawling towards the love
through the prejudice and greed

From queens and kings and presidents
the greatest to the small
Everybody, everyone
everybody, everyone
Everyone will crawl

I dreamed I was flying
I dreamed I was found
Beyond the barbed wire
high above the underground

I dreamed I was flying
I dreamed I was free
Flying higher and higher
as the world fell below me

I climbed up on the mountain
and I snuck up on The Man
With my notebook of stone wide open
and my chisel in my hand

I said
How come things are
so tough down here?
How come we all must fall?

He said
How you gonna learn to walk
How you gonna learn to run
How you gonna learn to fly
Until you learn to crawl

I dreamed I was flying
I dreamed I was found
Beyond the barbed wire high
above the underground

I dreamed I was flying
and I dreamed I was free
Flying higher and higher
as the world fell below me

I dreamed I was flying
I dreamed I was flying
I dreamed I was flying

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Ay!
