They've Trapped Us Boys (Dylan Jakob)

Gentlemen, where have we been? Can't find the hole where we got in We ain't had no letters since spring Gentlemen, where have we been? Ain't going nowhere now Let this bottle make its rounds And let this liquor settle down We ain't going nowhere now Darker than ever in the mine Shine a light, shine a light Holler back now, make some noise I do believe they've trapped us boys Fill the dirt back on the grave Ain't nothing good here being raised Look at the filthy mess we've made Fill the dirt back on the grave We cut the fruit, we took the tree We chiseled all the branches free We took more than we'd ever need We cut the fruit, we took the tree Darker than ever in the mine Shine a light, shine a light Holler back now, make some noise I do believe they've trapped us boys Can't have no one not toe the line 'Round here, it's always 'round midnight Can't have no brothers left behind Can't have no one not toe the line That ain't the cavalry we heard It's the rain that's crashing on the earth Tell our women and our children we ain't hurt But, no, it ain't the cavalry we heard Darker than ever in the mine Shine a light, shine a light Holler back now, make some noise I do believe they've trapped us boys
