Lazaretto

Lazaretto - Jack White

My veins are blue and connected

And every single bone in my brain is electric

But I dig ditches like the best of âem

Yo trabajo duro

Como en madera y yeso

Como en madera y yeso

And even god herself has fewer plans than me

But she never helps me out with my scams for free though

She grabs a stick and then she pokes it at me

When I say nothing I say everything

Yeah when I say nothing

I say everything

They threw me down in the Lazaretto

Bored rotten bored rotten

Making models of people I used to know

Out of coffee and cotton

And all my illegitimate kids'll be gotten

Thrown down to the wolves made feral for nothing

Quarantined on the Isle of Man

And I'm trying to escape any way that I can oh

Any way that I can oh

I don't have no time left

Time is lost

No time at all

Throw it in a garbage can

And I shake god's hand

I jump up and let her know when I can

This is how I'm gonna do it

They wanna blow down the prison

They're lighting fires with the cash of the masses

And like the dough I don't fall down

I'm so detroit I make it rise from the ashes
