Turn Over the Soil Songtext
von The Exception

Gonna turn over the soil and make it work
God gave me strength for food and rent
Every day of my life I′ve been down on the land
Pickin' a shovel in my hand

See that ball of fire hangin′ in the sky, ha!
Burnin' my back settin' me on fire
Every hole I dig, every shovel of dirt
Makes me think it′s a hard, hard world

Gonna turn over the soil and make it work
God gave me strength for food and rent
Every day of my life I′ve been down on the land
Pickin' a shovel in my hand


Look at the sweat pourin′ into the ground, uh!
No sweat there for the man to drown
Here comes the man with the bricks and mortar
I'd give my left arm for a drink of water
Turn over the soil
Turn over the soil ′til the day I die

Gonna turn over the soil and make it work
God gave me strength for food and rent
Every day of my life I've been down on the land
Pickin′ a shovel in my hand

Oh, come on!
Turn that soil!
I've been workin', workin′, workin′, workin' so hard!
Alright, uh!
