Thumb

Kyuss

You don't seem to understand the deal
I don't give two shits on how you feel
You're burned by my lighter
You've been burned by my lighter
And my lighter is held down by my thumb

You're living in thought so
You're living in thought so
You're living in thought so...

You tried to turn me off
But you couldn't even turn me down
As I sat and I told you were living in hell

You're in desert ground
And now you've found
My foreman and you
And you'll since I got in this well...

You're living in thought so
You're in thought so
You're in thought so...

    Yeah, when I think about it now, I think he does say "so". It fits in better with its meaning anyhow, sort of a big "fuck off" - a reality check. The first 5 lines make that clear.

    Anywho, I fixed the lyrics so they'll be fine now.
