Rough Gems

The world beat you for something nice. You worked hard, died poor.

You're mine for what you died for. Diamonds, da-da-da-da-ah.

You can whistle my name, it's a mine. It's in Africa, and they are to blame.

You can scoop out my brain, ship it into an air, and then tell me you're paying.

I've been awake from the first day, stayed awake, stayed awake

Rabbit was removed under the whole moon, long a short road

Dig deep but don't dig too deep, when it's late you'll see the hole is empty

And oh so deadly

They want me raw and smooth like glass

They want it fast, but they don't want flaws

I'm a girl's best friend, can you cut? I can cut

'Cause I'm a rough jam!

Who lives in the lights, in the distance, watered down

Rain will help you out

Had a dream, it was all a dream

It was ruined by the sun shining through me
