No Easy Action Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Marquez 

Cover art for No Easy Action lyrics by Mark Lanegan

What you said sounds interesting... would you explain that better? I thought Mark was singing about the useless ness of life, about how we can only sing and try to fight the cold and harsh times, before we die. I think there's a biblical allusion here, when he says going back underground (I'm not religious, so I don't really know the real words) to when god says "you came from dust and to dust you'll go back".
