big dig recently    
not the one in boston a few years back    
that went under the river    
and gave a lot of guys jobs    
for a good while  
   
the parole thing kinda leaves a man on both sides of the war    
   
you can lie about it    
   
or hope you know someone    
with teeth sharper than yours    
   
   
still it takes a certain type    
   
to really get on    
   
more than multiple milwauke's best    
   
to    
   
bury what you don't want and maybe accidentally excavate what someone else doesn't either    
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
sometimes you don't really think about it    
   
when you hear that marshal tucker song    
   
or watch that movie with mathew McCognaughey    
   
but we're all workin with skeletons    
-we want bars in hospitals
