Right there into the weight And all the time they're trying to shake The weight of the world Bring it on home Bring the soup on home Everybody's going to the wake of the world We're all dressing up fine for the wake of the world And everybody's hiding behind trees, breathing loud The weight of the world Bring it on home Bring the soup on home
