De Staat - Back To The Grind lyrics

"Did you see, the leaves are turning red?"
Old man Jan said "The trees are almost dead"
The crops are gone, even the rats have left
"Fingers crossed, breath held"
Planted these seeds
And hope that they will grow
But hope won't help, when hope is all alone
An empty stomach, is all we have to show
The cold is coming, that's why we have to go
Back to the grind
Did you hear, the boys reopened the mines
The search for gold is the
Search for better times

Don't dig too deep
Or you fall into the fires of hell
That's why I say "Fingers crossed
Breath held" planted these seeds
And hope that they will grow
But hope won't help, when hope is all alone
An empty stomach, is all we have to show
The cold is coming, that's why we have to go
Back to the grind
