lyrics

2. too busy to be
rumbling the hide
when the millers are striking
oil is all dry again
mumbling cause i'm tired
will i open my eyes again
while they gone lying
and they say you should be
they say we should be
they say we should all be
we should be honored
but we're not
we're too busy to be
and i'm mumbling cause i'm tired
well the millers are striking
oil is gone dry again
so they'll rebound and buffer
they are the suckers
that's the plant in a shell
cause you're sick
and you need them to get well
it's not cheap to be free
it ain't cheap
cause they have a surprise
rumbling on high again
look at your face
why aren't you crying
standing there smiling
i'm not your brother
rumbling on high again
look at your face
why are you smiling
you should be crying
i'm not your brother
they say you should be
they say we should be
they say we should all be
we should be honored
but we're not
we're too busy to be
