Woman, she's moving to the weight of the world
Momma, she's carrying the weight of the world
All the time she breathing in the weight of the world
Bring it on home
Bring the soup-bone homeWell, poppa, too, he got the weight of the world
Man is moving in to the weight of the world
And all the time, along with the soup he's bringing home

Bring the soup on homeChildren, too, fall to this weight of the world
All the time they they fall... right there into the weight
And all the time they're trying to shake

We're all dressing up fine for the wake of the world
And everybody's hiding behind trees, breathing loud
