about

Remake from the 1988 album "By Design"

lyrics

Deep in the shallow - they place us underground
Stand on the gallows - where then you will be crowned
Stir up the hollow - you will be ever bound
Choose who to follow - and don't make a sound

Done so heavy gauges Done so many pages
Done so empty wages Done so shallow cages
Done so crippled sages Done so angry rages
Done so proper stages Done so living ages

Deep in the shallow - where you work for life
Until tomorrow - your only way is strife
It's a fiasco - but put away your knife
The better way then - is to realize

Done so heavy gauges Done so many pages
Done so empty wages Done so shallow cages
Done so crippled sages Done so angry rages
Done so proper stages Done so living ages

Deep in the shallow - you find a sordid pile
Each breath you borrow - each grave that you revile
Don't sit and wallow - don't learn the ways of guile
Even Apollo - obtained a better style

Done so heavy gauges Done so many pages
Done so empty wages Done so shallow cages
Done so crippled sages Done so angry rages
Done so proper stages Done so living ages

Deep in the shallow - they place us underground
Stand on the gallows - where then you will be crowned
Stir up the hollow - you will be ever bound
Choose who to follow - and don't make a sound

Done so heavy gauges Done so many pages
Done so empty wages Done so shallow cages
Done so crippled sages Done so angry rages
Done so proper stages Done so living ages
