Blues From Down Here Lyrics

Cover art for Blues From Down Here lyrics by TV on the Radio

This isn't about relgion -- and it certainly doesn't have anything to do with Labyrinth -- it's about class struggle and cold-hearted economics. When 10% of the people control 90% of the wealth in our societies, something is seriously wrong, and this song is addressing the disparity between the haves and the have-nots.

This is about praying to something that isn't listening...Down here is earth, up there is heaven....

Teeth gnashing, masticating this dumb tongue Quiet now, quiet now, hear that supplication echo into the void been recieved by no one

This is about living by gods rules and living your whole life to try to get into to heaven...instead of just trying to be free and follow your own desires.

Lessen your desire hold your breath so patiently never inquire how to be free Just stay on your knees
