In The Ground - Eric Burdon

Someone got me thinking

Just the other day

Made me take notice

In an unusual way

Yes this bothers me

I must confess

If I find salvation

Will I put it to rest

They say that oil and water just don’t mix

Finding one without the other

Now that’s the trick

It’s in the ground

When they lay your body down

It’s in the ground

Will peace ever be found

Your troubles might be over

When you’re in God’s group

But what you did in this life

Let’s the Devil make his move

It’s in the ground

What makes one man

Savior of this earth

Heart of gold giving

All his worth

Then there is this other man

Lost in ambition

A cold and ruthless condition

Ease me Lord

Ease me

Ease me up into the middle of the air

And if these wings should fail me

Won’t you provide me with another pair

With the spirits at my side

I don’t need to care

My body is gone

But my soul is everywhere

It’s in the ground

It’s in the ground

When they lay your body down

It’s in the ground

Will peace ever be found?

Lord, Lord

It’s in the ground

Yeah, yeah, it’s in the ground

When they lay your body down

It’s in the ground

Lord, it’s in the ground

It’s in the ground
