Bruce Peninsula - Shanty Song lyrics

Fallow from the loss of sun Fields turn into spoil And sought along the arid plains For food left in the soil And all the mothers, fathers with, Their water and their wood Give life to an inheritor Relieved not understood I come from a line of crooks Bitter and brittle men So I won't be around when those Wedding bells ring But I'm mean and marked up enough To give you my hand With none of my roots showing So leave me a little privacy Don't call, don't come around at all Leave me a little decency And call off all your dogs Or their collars are coming off Following the loss of laws Saying in their turn For every man to live his life She'll have to last and burn And all the brothers, sisters, mothers, Fathers and their sons, will Be pa**ed along the daily deal Alike the day before La da, da da, da da, da da, la da Don't get like that Don't recoil back in silence All that I ask is just a couple of seconds In private Leave me a little privacy Don't call, don't come around at all Leave me a little decency And call off all your dogs Oh, I'm sorry darlin', you're just gonna have to choose It's either me or the elephant in the room I can't stand to lose ya, I can't stand to lose ya But it's either me or the elephant in the room
