Cut Your Teeth

You weren't there
when the devil got his start
but you sure know enough
about promoting his art
and infinity
is not the same as sanity
but you've got your supply
and I've got mine.

These idle hands will waste a lot of time.
You've got yours and I've got mine.

Look out the window!
Check under the rug!
Where it all started
isn't where you begun.
Well, he's got a match
and she's got a gun.
I've got a pen
and I've got a thumb.

These idle hands will waste a lot of time.
You've got yours and I've got mine.

Bring on the militia!
Call the National Guard!
Gather 'round your drinkin' buddies
and call to arms!
         Call to arms.
         Call to arms.
         Hug 'til it's illegal
         and no one's harmed.

These idle hands will waste a lot of time.
You've got yours and I've got mine.

Blame the church.
Blame it on your parents.
Where we come from,
no one understands it.
You're the seed;
you're the belief.
Even the devil
had to cut his teeth.

These idle hands will waste a lot of time.
You've got yours and I've got mine.
We give and live and love and forget
and try and die and cherish regrets.
These idle hands will waste a lot of time.
You've got yours and I've got mine.
We all have jobs that are never done
and where we go ain't where we're from.
