The Hole Thing - Jackie Lomax

Born into bondage

Born in a shell, well

You became a prisoner

At the birth of your first cell

Born like a immigrant

Born away from home

Tell me what was the stimulant

Kept you feeling so alone

We’re all here together, brother

We’re all in the hole

Let’s just get together, brother

And give this place we’re living in Just a bit more soul

Born to the physical

Strapped to just one mind

What was that spectacle

The sight that made you blind

Born in a mystery

There’s been no answer found

Just what the future is to be

There is no common ground

We’re all here together, brother

We’re all in control

Let’s just get together, brother

And give this place we’re living in Just a bit more soul

Born in a city

My sky is always grey

Mother have some pity

Your son has gone astray

I’m born with a question

Who will answer mine?

If you find the best one

Won’t you ease my troubled mind?

We’re all here together, brother

We’re all in the hole

Let’s just get together, brother

And give this place we’re living in Just a bit more soul
