I killed a man 'cause he killed my goat I put my hands around his throat He tried to reason with the sky and the clouds But it didn't matter, 'cause they can't hear a sound Oh Oh Oh Oh oh oh It's just the curl of the burl It's just the curl of the burl That's just the way of the world It's just the curl of the burl Splinters in my skin, just like needles and pins I cut through the pine, love the feeling it gives Been out here for days running through these trees I'm using my hands, cuttin' through the disease Oh Oh Oh Oh oh oh It's just the curl of the burl It's just the curl of the burl That's just the way of the world It's just the curl of the burl I feed the powerless Chewed it up, spit the rest I feed the powerless Chewed it up, spit out the rest It's just the curl of the burl It's just the curl of the burl That's just the way of the world It's just the curl of the burl Oh Oh oh Oh Oh oh oh Oh Oh oh Oh Oh oh oh
