I DIDN'T MEAN IT THAT WAY,
OKAY?
NO, YOU'RE RIGHT, THOUGH.
I DON'T HAVE A JOB, SO I

STOP WHAT?
I'M JUST SAYING THE TRUTH.
YOU HAVE A JOB.
I DON'T.
YOU SHOULD FEEL GOOD
ABOUT YOURSELF.
I SHOULDN'T.
THAT'S ONLY FAIR.
I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF,

FOR A SPLIT SECOND, EYE CONTACT.
- HOW MUCH DID YOU GET FOR IT?
- FOR WHAT?

- CAN WE... CAN WE BUY IT BACK?
- NO, NO, NO, NO.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD TO
TAKE CARE OF THE OTHER ISSUE
THAT AROSE
FROM TODAY'S CONFUSION,
WHICH, I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR,
WAS CAMPBELL'S FAULT.
WHAT OTHER ISSUE?
$400 WORTH OF WEASEL JAM.
[CHUCKLES]
YOU KNOW, I THOUGH YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO SUCK THAT ONE UP
CONSIDERING I WAS THE ONE
SITTING IN JAIL FOR IT.
I'D HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO, MORG.
BUT THE FACT REMAINS
IT WASN'T MY WEED,
AND DITTO'S NOT ONE

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.

GONNA ANSWER THAT QUESTION.

HOWEVER WARRANTED,
BE A LITTLE BIT MISDIRECTED.

TURN THINGS AROUND, MORGAN.

I'M SORRY?
I-I JUST DON'T...
[Chuckling] NO OFFENSE, SIR,
BUT I DON'T THINK A MAN YOUR AGE
SHOULD BE JUMPING ON THE BED.
I KNOW IT'S NONE
OF MY BUSINESS, SIR,
BUT, UH... BUT BOTTOM LINE IS,
WE CAN'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR INJURIES YOU INCUR
WHILE JUMPING ON THE BED.
BECAUSE IT'S A BED.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
LYING DOWN ON IT.
OKAY. EH... OH!

- WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
[LAUGHS]
PULL UP TO THIS KID'S DOOR!
PULL UP TO THE MAILBOX.
I GOT HIM RIGH WHERE I WANT HIM, BABY!
RIGHT WHERE I WANT HIM.
HOLD ON.
SLOW DOWN JUST A FUCKING
LITTLE BIT HERE.
- WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
- COME HERE.
NO.
DUDE!
YOU BROKE MIMI'S MIRROR.
- [LAUGHS]
- YOU BROKE HER HANDLE!
WHO'S THE LOSER NOW,
YOU LITTLE SHITSUCKERS?
I FUCKING BROKE THEIR MAILBOX
WITH THEIR OWN
GODDAMN SKATEBOARD, DUDE!
OKAY, HOW DO YOU KNOW THA THAT WAS THEIR MAILBOX?
[SIGHS]
IT PROBABLY WASN'T, HUH?
- NO.
- NO.
I THINK IT WAS JUS A RANDOM MAILBOX THAT YOU HIT.
- YEAH. FUCK.
- ALL MY FRIENDS
HONEY, I AIN'T KIDDING
NO, I WON'T BE AROUND
ME AND MY FRIENDS
WILL BE HIGH
FLYING O'ER THE GROUND
SO, BASICALLY...
HEY, ANNE FRANK.
CAN YOU PUT YOUR DIARY AWAY
WHILE I TELL YOU MY GENIUS IDEA?
SO, BASICALLY, IT'S JUS A MATTER OF GETTING THE PATENT.
YOU KNOW HOW TO GET ONE?
NO, I'M NOT EXACTLY VERSED
IN THE BUSINESS ASPECT OF IT.
BUT CREATIVELY, WE'RE ALL SET,
MAN. IT'S A SURE THING.
AND HOW DID YOU COME UP
WITH THIS BRILLIANT IDEA?
AS MOST SEMINAL IDEAS
ARE SPAWNED... OUT OF NECESSITY.
YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED A PILLOW
AT THE BEACH?
NECESSITY, CONVENIENCE,
LUXURY...
THESE ARE THE FUELS
THAT DRIVE THE INVENTOR'S MIND.
ANYWAY, I'M LYING THERE,
AND I THINK,
"I COULD REALLY USE A LITTLE BI MORE SUPPORT FOR MY HEAD, YOU KNOW?"
AND WHAT DOES ONE USUALLY DO
WHEN THEY'RE AT THE BEACH?
IT'S NOT RHETORICAL, GUYS.
I REALLY WANT YOU
TO PARTICIPATE.
OH, SO YOU PILE UP
SOME SAND UNDER.
RESOURCEFUL. GOOD.
NOT VERY COMFORTABLE.
MORGAN?
UM, ROLL UP YOUR TOWEL?
EXACTLY.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU DO,
AND EXACTLY WHAT I DECIDED TO DO
ON THAT FATEFUL DAY,
- WHICH GOT ME THINKING.
- TWO TOWELS.
ED, THE AUDIENCE-PARTICIPATION
SEGMENT IS OVER.
ALSO, ENTIRELY INCORRECT.
I STARTED THINKING
ABOUT PILLOWS.
AND WHY DON'T PEOPLE BRING
PILLOWS TO THE BEACH? MORGAN?
WAIT A MINUTE.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID
THE AUDIENCE-PARTICIPATION
SEGMENT WAS...
ED, STOP BEING A CHILD.
MORGAN?
BECAUSE NO ONE GIVES A SHIT.
SAND!
DOMESTIC PILLOWS DO NOT PROTEC AGAINST THE INFILTRATION
OF SAND!
RIGHT?
BUT WHAT, MY FRIENDS,
IS SPECIFICALLY MADE,
DESIGNED TO HANDLE SAND?
YOU TALKING ABOUT THOSE
LITTLE SHOVELS WITH THE PAIL?
ED, YOU'VE GOT TO BE
THE STUPIDEST MOTHERFUCKER
I'VE EVER MET IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
WHAT COULD GO AROUND THE PILLOW
SO AS TO PROTECT IT?
TOWELS!
BEACH TOWELS!
RIGHT? YOU TAKE
A REGULAR FUCKING PILLOW,
BUT YOU COVER IT...
INSTEAD OF WITH A PILLOWCASE,
YOU COVER IT WITH A BEACH TOWEL!
BING!
- TERRY CLOTH.
- WHAT?
A PILLOWCASE
MADE OUT OF TERRY CLOTH?
NO, I'M SAYING
INSTEAD OF A PILLOWCASE,
YOU COVER IT WITH A BEACH TOWEL.
TERRY CLOTH IS WHA BEACH TOWELS ARE MADE OF.
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK
WHAT TERRY CLOTH IS!
THESE ARE BEACH PILLOWS, AND THEY'RE
MADE OUT OF FUCKING BEACH TOWELS.
NOW, UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET KICKED OU ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF THIS THING,
YOU'RE GONNA FUCKING STOP
TALKING ABOUT TERRY CLOTH.
I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW
WHAT TERRY CLOTH IS.
ED, I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU
SAY TERRY CLOTH ONE MORE TIME,
I'M GONNA DROWN YOU
IN MY MOTHER'S POOL.
- FINE.
- ONE MORE TIME. JUST SAY IT.
FINE, A BEACH TOWEL.
WHAT IF IT GETS WET, THOUGH?
WELL, LIKE MOST PILLOWCASES,
IT'S REMOVABLE.
HEY, MORGAN, BABY,
BE A SWEETHEART.
GRAB ME ANOTHER SANGRIA.
SANGRIA!
TIME TO BRING ME A SANGRIA!
SO, WHAT,
DOES IT HAVE A ZIPPER?

UM, IT JUST...
IT HASN'T BEEN THE RIGHT TIME.

COULDN'T AFFORD IT AT THE TIME,
AND THEN WHEN WE COULD...
I DON'T NEED A RING

SPEAKING OF,
HE'LL TAKE YOU BACK.
JUST A LITTLE HOT AT THE MOMENT.
I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO GO BACK.
YOUR FATHER CAN'T WORK FOREVER,

OVER THERE.

LIKE ACTUAL SHIT.
AND SHE WAS SO EMBARRASSED,
SHE MADE ME WALK AROUND
THE BLOCK WITH HER.
AND I WASN'T GROSSED OU OR ANYTHING.
I JUST... IT WAS SO ENDEARING...
IT ACTUALLY MADE ME
LOVE HER MORE.
BUT NOW I REALIZE
IT WAS CAMPBELL'S SHIT...

A BIG PORTERHOUSE BANKER DUMP.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
WITH THE INVESTMEN AND INTEREST.
[LAUGHS]
THE POINT IS, IS...
WRITING WAS ON THE WALL.
STREAKED ACROSS THE BOWL.
[BOTH LAUGH]
THERE YOU GO.
YOU CAN KEEP BEING PISSED AT ME
JUST BY MY BEST EFFORTS
TO REMEDY IT,
OR YOU CAN JUST GIVE IN
TO THE FACT THAT YOU LOVE ME
AND WE CAN GO CELEBRATE
MY NEWFOUND EMPLOYMENT.
GUESS WHAT.
THE CARNIES ARE IN TOWN.
YOU KNOW I REALLY AM
PISSED AT YOU, NICK. [SIGHS]

WONDERING WHA HE'D DONE WRONG...

I ALWAYS THOUGHT STAYING HERE

[Voice breaking] LIKE SOMEHOW
I DESERVED TO, LIKE,
THROW MY LIFE AWAY.
THAT I DESERVE THAT SHIT.
BUT, MAN,
I DON'T FEEL THAT WAY ANYMORE.

NO! I'M FUCKED UP!
AND YOU SAY IT WASN'T HIM...
THIS GUY RIGHT HERE?
NO, THAT'S MY...
THAT'S MY BUDDY MORGAN.
NO, HE SAVED MY LIFE.
IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM,
I'D BE DEAD.
SWEAR TO GOD.
GOD'S HONEST TRUTH.
IS THIS TRUE?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
WHAT DID THIS GUY LOOK LIKE?
UH, A LITTLE GUY.

I AM THE BOY
YOUR MOTHER WANTED YOU TO MEET
BUT I AM BROKEN AND TORN
WITH HEELS AT MY FEET
AND WITH YOUR PUREST LIGHT,
WHY DON'T YOU SHINE ON ME?
WELL,
I SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ANGEL
BUT I'M TOO DUMB TO SPEAK
NOW AS SHE GETS NEARER,
THE VISIONS GET CLEARER
I'M KNEELING, WEEPING,
I WILL HOLD HER DEAR
THERE YOU ARE.
WE HAVE TO BE AT THE COURTHOUSE
AT 2:00.
OH, JESUS, NICK!
- YOUR FACE!
- I KNOW, I'M A SWELLER.
OH!
I HAVE EXTREMELY WEAK
WHITE BLOOD CELLS.
OH OH-OH-OH OH OH-OH-OH
OH OH OH-OH-OH OH
OH, I AM SO GLAD YOU'VE DECIDED
TO START UP AGAIN
WITH YOUR FATHER.
THIS PILLOW IDEA SOUNDS GREAT.
I THINK
IF WE MENTION IT TO THE JUDGE...
- IT'S NOT MY IDEA.
- WELL, YOURS AND NICK'S.
YEAH,
AND I'M NOT WORKING FOR DAD.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST COME WITH ME
TO MASS,
AND WE'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
MOM, IT'S FUCKING THURSDAY,
AND I'M TIRED
OF THINKING ABOUT IT.
BLOODY ALL NIGHT
HIT HIM WITH A BOOK
AND HOW HE CRUMBLES
OH, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
HOW THE ARCHES TUMBLED
THEY'RE GOLDEN NO MORE,
NOW I'M SMILING IN MY BLOOD
I'M CAUGHT IN A WHIRLWIND,
I'M GOIN' TO HEAVEN
I'M STANDIN' ON TRIAL,
AND IT'S PAINTED ON CANVAS
AN ETERNAL TESTAMEN TO HOW WE ARE SO ANIMALISTIC
WHOA!
WHOA, HEY, HEY!
- DAD, HEY!
- WHAT? WHAT?
WHAT'D I DO?
[Laughing] FORGET IT.
OH OH OH-OH-OH OH
FORGET WHAT?
NEVER MIND.
WHAT A CRYIN' SHAME
YOU GOT SUNSCREEN ON?
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BURN
THROUGH THESE CLOUDS.
[MUSIC STOPS]
YEAH, I HEARD...
I HEARD THAT.
WHERE'S NICK?
HE HAD A ROUGH NIGHT.
HE'S UPSTAIRS.
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
YOU ALWAYS LIKED NICK,
HUH, DAD?
OH, YEAH, HE'S A GOOD KID.
HE'S, YOU KNOW, HE'S MOTIVATED.
I TOLD YOU
NOT TO LET HIM IN HERE.
HE EATS THE FLOWERS.
WHAT ARE YOU YELLING AT ME FOR?
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
HENRY.
MOM, HE'S FINE.
HE'S NOT FINE, MORGAN!
HE GETS IN THE FLOWERS
AND RUINS THEM.
BUT, LOOK,
HE'S NOWHERE NEAR THE FLOWERS!
[CHUCKLES]
YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
THIS CHURCH THING IS WORKING.
I MEAN, IF YOU'RE GONNA
COME BACK LIKE THIS,
YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT GO.
SHUT UP!
YOU DO NOTHING AROUND HERE,
SO JUST SHUT UP!
- GO, GO, FIX IT.
- YEAH, GOING.
MOM! HEY!
MOM!
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
HEY. I WAS JUST KIDDING.
- NO.
- WHAT?
GET OUT!
MOM?
MOM!
[SOBBING]
MOM!
[Voice breaking]
I JUST GOT HERE.
YOU NEVER LEFT.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
[DOOR SLAMS]
SHIT.
WHAT A CRYIN' SHAME,
A CRYIN' SHAME, WHAT WE BECAME
[SIGHS]
I BOW MY HEAD
IN THE MORNING LIGHT...
HEY, LOOK.
I HELD HER HAND
AND I, I KISSED HER EYES...
[SIGHS] IT'S NICE.
- [CHUCKLES]
- IT'S NICE.
LOOK, I GOT TO GO.
...IN THE FRONT YARD
AND DIED
[SIGHS]
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
IF YOU KILL A MAN
THEY DON'T LET YOU
DRIVE THE HEARSE
IT'S YOUR SPEAKING VOICE,
IT'S BUYER'S REMORSE
JUST A PAPER CUT
THAT'S BEEN
BLEEDING YOU TO DEATH
IT'S A SACRIFICE
IT'S A MOUNTAIN OF REGRET
LET THEM REST
YOUR HEART AND YOUR HEAD
AND YOUR BONES
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
TO PROVE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW
SAY IT ONCE
WHOO-OOH OOH-OOH
NEVER HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN
IT'S A MESS
WHOO-OOH-OOH-OOH
MAYBE IT'S THE ONLY ONE
LET THEM REST
OOH-OOH OOH-OOH
YOUR HEART AND YOUR HEAD
AND YOUR BONES
THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
TO PROVE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW
SAY IT ONCE
NEVER HAVE TO SAY IT AGAIN
IT'S A MESS
WHOO-OOH-OOH-OOH
MAYBE IT'S THE ONLY ONE
OOH-OOH OOH OOH-OOH
OOH-OOH OOH OOH OOH
OOH-OOH OOH OOH-OOH
OOH-OOH OOH OOH OOH
IS THIS OUR GUY?
IS THIS MORGAN?
YES, YOUR EMINENCE.
I AM HE.
BUT WE'RE ALL MORGAN
WHEN YOU GET RIGHT DOWN TO IT.
DEEP DOWN INSIDE
OF EVERY ONE OF US IS
A MORGAN MIDWOOD
FIGHTING FOR WHAT'S RIGHT,
STANDING UP FOR THE LITTLE GUY.
AND THE SHAME OF IT ALL IS
THAT OUR EFFORT,
OUR MORGAN-ISM, IF YOU WILL,
ISN'T ALWAYS REWARDED.
IN FACT,
IT'S OFTEN PUNISHED...
BECAUSE THIS WORLD HAS
LOST SIGHT OF THE GOOD AND TRUE.
RIGHT NOW WE'RE MORE CONCERNED
WITH THE SEXY AND SELLABLE.
BUT YOU CAN'T SELL HONOR,
YOUR HOLINESS,
AND YOU CAN'T HAVE SEX
WITH CHARACTER,
AND THAT'S MORGAN MIDWOOD
DOWN TO THE BONE.
THAT'S YOU AND ME AND YOU
AND YOU AND YOU
AND ALL OF US
AT OUR VERY BEST.
BUT BECAUSE
OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS,
BECAUSE OF OUR... OUR FAITH,
OUR INNOCENCE,
WE'RE VICTIMIZED.
YOU SEE, MORGAN DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT HE WAS WALKING INTO
THAT DAY, MY... MY LIEGE.
HE THOUGHT IT WAS SOME OTHER
SHITSUCKER'S APARTMENT.
[TOILET FLUSHES]
DON'T SAY ANYTHING.
THANKS.
NO PROBLEM, PAL.
OH!
[CLATTER]
GLAD THERE'S NO PROBLEM.
THEN AGAIN...
DID OUR BLACK BRETHREN KNOW
WHAT THEY WERE IN FOR
WHEN THEY CLIMBED ABOARD
THOSE BIG BOATS SO LONG AGO?
UGH!
WHEW!
THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GONNA
BEAT 'EM, MORG.
THEY KEEP UNDERESTIMATING YOU.
[KNOCKS ON WINDOW]
HEY.
HEY.
[SIGHS]
WH... HAVE YOU BEEN INSIDE?
YEAH, I JUST,
UH, I JUST GRABBED MY KEYS.
[CHUCKLES]
WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN.
I'M GONNA GO.
IS THIS IT?
NO.
NO, THIS... THIS ISN'T IT.
I DON'T GET IT.
[CHUCKLES]
YEAH, SEE,
I DIDN'T GET IT EITHER, BUT...
I THINK I'M STARTING
TO GET AN IDEA.
TAKE CARE, KARLA.
WAIT. I-I'M SORRY.
OKAY? [SIGHS]
I SHOULDN'T HAVE
DONE THAT TO YOU.
YOU DIDN'T.
YOU DIDN'T DO THAT TO ME.
YOU DID THAT TO THE HALF A MAN
THAT I...
RIGHT, OKAY.
UM, WELL, IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW.
I WAS WRONG,
AND I HAVE REALIZED THA THESE PAST FEW DAYS.
I MISS YOU... MORGAN.
[CHUCKLES]
I WANT YOU BACK...
WHOEVER YOU ARE.
WELL, WHAT...
WHAT ABOUT CAMPBELL?
[SIGHS]
CAMPBELL DOESN'T MATTER.
[SCOFFS]
[SIGHS]
KARLA...
I THINK
HEAVEN'S MISSING AN ANGEL.
AND YOU PROBABLY HAVE HER
STUFFED IN YOUR FUCKING CLOSET.
[SEATBELT CLICKS]
[Muffled] MORGAN?
[GULLS CRYING, WAVES CRASHING]
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
AND THIS IS JUST THE PROTOTYPE.
I MADE THIS BABY
WITH MY BARE PAWS.
JUST GIVING YOU
THE GOD'S HONEST.
BUT WE GOT THE FACTORY
ROLLING THEM OUT RIGHT NOW.
ONE WEEK, 10 DAYS, TOPS,
THESE BABIES SHOULD BE IN STOCK.
- 10 DAYS?
- TOPS.
AND WE CAN PERSONALIZE THIS
TO MEET YOUR EVERY DESIRE.
SO, IT'S BASICALLY, UH,
COVERED IN TERRY CLOTH?
[Chuckling] NO.
COMMON MISTAKE.
THIS IS ENTIRELY BEACH TOWEL.
[CHUCKLES]
I THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME THING.
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
HEY, UH, EXCUSE ME FOR A SECOND,
YEAH?
YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
CHECK IT OUT. ENJOY.
I LIKE YOUR SETUP HERE.
- YEAH?
- YEAH.
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S MY IDEA.
IT'S MY BABY.
IT'S GREAT.
IT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT I WAS
DOING WHEN I WASN'T WORKING,
EXCEPT FOR I GET TO TALK
TO PEOPLE BESIDES ED.
[CHUCKLES]
SO, YOU THINK YOU'LL BE
INTO DOING THIS EVERY DAY?
BIG-TIME.
BESIDES,
THE WEEKEND'S NOT THAT COOL
WHEN EVERY DAY IS A SUNDAY,
YOU KNOW?
HEY... THANKS FOR WHAT YOU DID.
AH. [CHUCKLES]
YOU KNOW,
I WAS PLANNING ON GIVING
THIS WHOLE GRANDIOSE SPEECH
ABOUT THE SOCIOPOLITICAL
INEQUITIES OF THE SYSTEM,
BUT THAT GUY FROM THE APARTMEN RECOGNIZED ME
AND FORM-TACKLED ME.
[BOTH LAUGH]
SO I CAME CLEAN.
AND, MAN, IT WAS WEIRD.
EVERYONE STARTED
FEELING SORRY FOR ME,
AND FAMILY DROPPED
ALL THE CHARGES.
I THINK THAT DUDE WANTS TO BE
MY FOSTER DAD NOW.
[CHUCKLES]
IT'S FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS.
YEAH, YEAH.
[SIGHS]
YOU GONNA BE OKAY?
YEAH, YOU KNOW...
IT'S LONELY AT THE TOP.
- YO!
- YO!
[SNAPPING FINGERS]
FORGETTING SOMETHING?
FEELING A LITTLE LIGHT.
OH.
IT'S GOOD.
THANK YOU.
I'M VERY FUNNY.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
THANK YOU AGAIN, SIR.
YOU KIND OF LEFT ME HANGING,
THOUGH,
ALTHOUGH I THINK WE ADDED
A COUPLE GOOD PAGES
THE OTHER DAY.
I THINK WE DID.
SO... WHAT NOW?
NOW I WRITE THE REST.
BYE.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, OKAY.
[SIGHS]
HEY.
[CHUCKLES]
- [SIGHS]
- IT'S COMFORTABLE. RIGHT?
HOW'D YOU COME UP
WITH THIS IDEA?
WELL, LIKE ANY GREAT IDEA, SIR,
IT WAS SPAWNED FROM NECESSITY...
NECESSITY, CONVENIENCE,
COMFORT.
OH, I LOST MY PALM TREE.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS]
[ENGINE TURNS OVER]
I DON'T SAY MUCH
YOU TELL ME
THAT IT'S NOT ENOUGH
YOU SAY "OKAY"
AT THE END OF EVERY DAY
WELL, I CAN'T TALK
UNTIL I LOSE A LITTLE LUCK
LET'S TALK ABOUT MY DAY
I'D DO IT IF I COULD
WHATEVER COMES
WHATEVER COMES
WHATEVER COMES OUR WAY
WHATEVER COMES
WHATEVER COMES
WHATEVER COMES OUR WAY
WHATEVER COMES
WHATEVER COMES
WHATEVER COMES OUR WAY
I DON'T KNOW
IF WE'LL GROW
IF WE'LL REAP,
REAP JUST WHAT WE SOW
BUT KEEP DIGGING
JUST KEEP DIGGING
AND CHANGE YOUR GROUND
WHEN YOU WANT TO
BURY YOUR HEAD
JUST KNOW THAT YOU'RE HIDING
GOD'S FACE
WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU'D RATHER BE DEAD
OH, REMEMBER YOU'RE
YOUR OWN SAVING GRACE
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
IF WE'LL GROW
IF WE'LL REAP,
REAP JUST WHAT WE SOW
BUT KEEP DIGGING
JUST KEEP DIGGING
AND CHANGE YOUR GROUND
CHANGE YOUR GROUND
CHANGE YOUR GROUND
CHANGE YOUR GROUND
CHANGE YOUR GROUND
