Eric Burdon In The Ground lyrics

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


Chorus:
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

Chorus

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
