Gonna Dig a Big Hole
music & lyric by Matthew levine

Life as I know it is awfully absurd
Where am I going? My vision is blurred
Yesterday's taken its toll.
What can I do when I have lost control?

Gonna dig a big hole
Crawl in it and die
Dig a big hole in the ground then
crawl in it and die
Doncha know I gotta whole lotta reasons why
I wanna dig a big hole, crawl in it and die
But I won't give up, no sir, no way
The world will hear what I have to say
I'll take another shot, ready or not
It's a brand new day
It's a brand new day. A brand new day. It's a brand new day.

I've been held down
By the status quo
Been held down for a hundred years
by the status quo
Been feelin' sad and mad and low
From bein' held down by the status quo
But I won't give up, no ma'am, no way
Gonna raise my fist above the fray
I'll take another shot, ready or not
It's a brand new day
It's a brand new day. A brand new day. It's a brand new day.

Our forefathers ruled us, they thought they were smart
Our foremothers mostly obeyed.
Now that their kingdom is coming apart
Let's break with convention to grab their attention
And speak out the truth unafraid.

Big-a-dig-dig, Big-a-dig-dig, Big-a-dig-dig, Big-a-dig-dig,

I'm a gonna dig a big hole
And plant a tree
Dig a big hole, thank the Lord and plant a tree
With food and sun and TLC
It'll be as hardy as a tree can be
So let's dance, and sing, and pray
Treat each other in the very same way
When we were young, we understood
We are here to do some good
Let's be happy 'cause around the hood
It's a brand new day
It's a brand new day. A brand new day. It's a brand new day.
