lyrics

It is you standing in the sun
All the crooked lines have been drawn
It is you with your back up straight
Tell me, who babe
Is going to carry that weight

Heading down a road laid by men
Who didn´t think about where they went
Better carve your own way through the mud
Your own way through the mud

It is you standing in the sun
All the crooked lines have been drawn
It is you with your back up straight
Tell me, who babe
Is going to carry that weight

Carry that weight
Carry that weight
Carry that weight
Carry that weight

Building up before your time
A world disorder that ain´t fine
Wasting poison in the creek
Throwing dirt in the street

It is you standing in the sun
All the crooked lines have been drawn
It is you with your back up straight
Tell me, who babe
Is going to carry that weight

Every man, born like a saint
Think about where all the good times went
Hand down the world best you can
To your child now with an open hand

It is you standing in the sun
All the crooked lines have been drawn
It is you with your back up straight
Tell me, who babe
Is going to carry that weight

Carry that weight
Carry that weight
Carry that weight
Carry that weight
