Dead Weather, The - Die By The Drop Lyrics






Let's dig a hole in the sand, brother
A little grave we can fill together
I got myself a problem
That I been looking to sell

Some people die just a little
Sometimes you die by the drop
Some people die in the middle
I live just fine on the top

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
to my little grave

I never said we was equal
I never wished to be saved
If I'm a problem then preach on?
Let's dig a little grave

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
to my little grave

Let's dig a hole in the sand, brother
Starve off the land for worse or better
Get right down to the bottom
If one goes I'll dig the other

Some people die just a little
Sometimes you die by the drop
Some people die in the middle
I live just fine on the top

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
to my little grave

  9. S.... F....

    2:50 U can't see me

  10. J.... M....

    Wait... whaaaa???... was that Johnny Depp????

    J.... M....

    Who him? that's nobody...

  11. A.... S....

    Why is this official video pulled from their official account?

  12. J.... L....

    I enjoy the music and can relate to the lyrics, "Die by the Drop."  I however do not relate to the portions about the preacher...  I understand, why it was done.  However, the problem, I have with it, is when a Christian marries another true Christian, and knowingly enter into a vow in front of God, is a different set of circumstances as being a non-Christian and having a child outside of wedlock, with no agreement or vow.  The song also is questioning, what is grounds for divorce.

    J.... L....

    Worst post ever?

    J.... L....

    +Jamie Lynn No true Scotsman. :)

    J.... L....

    Wow... hey, just enjoy the music. Jeezzzz!!!!!!

  13. J.... M....

    Dead Weather music videos are like one big Blue Orchid...

    J.... M....

    Same director

  14. m.... h....

    I think Jack needs to cut back on the drugs and start making good music again.

    m.... h....

    +me home I agree. I hated Lazaretto . I saw the Dead Weather perform a new song on a late night show a few nights ago too and it just didn't do anything for me. I don't know what's up with him now. I did like this song though.

    m.... h....

    +me home Screw the drugs, tell him to cool down on the ego.

    m.... h....

    I mean his solo stuff is pretty good, the dead weather aren't great...

  15. V.... C....

    It's just me or she looks like Siouxsie? 0 autenticity.

  16. T.... M....

    "I'm going to make you feel worse or better." Damn.

  17. A.... T....

    Great dishevelled rock! Was suggested to hear The Dead Weather, glad I did! 

  18. B.... F....

    "I'm gonna take you for worse or better"..

    B.... F....

    B.... F....

    fucking lame

  19. L.... V....

    jack <3

  20. E.... M....

    Pure art! Jack ...

  21. G.... M....

    Both "Life by the Drop" and "Die by the Drop"!

  22. A.... M....

    Alison Mosshart <3

  23. C.... P....

    I can feel me'self drippin' away!

  24. u.... ....

    I'm gonna take you for worse or better.

  25. F.... R....

    this is what you call a music video

  26. J.... D....

    The sound of this song reminds me of Nine inch nails, just instead of trent reznor we have these two singing, not a bad mix if i may say!

  27. �.... �....

    greatnes, Jack White new god of rock

  28. K.... ....

    I like the part where he is out in the countryside building guitars out of planks and bottles.

  29. M.... ....

    Yeah, it's true. He says it in the movie-documentary "It might get loud".

  30. K.... ....

    Heard a story that when Jack was a kid he moved everything out of his room, including his bed, to have place for as many instruments as possible.

  31. O.... ....

    Heard the news on TMR twitter? THEY'RE COMING BACK! (insert musicgasm here)

  32. L.... H....

    I dont get why the people waste so much time in commenting stupid things, and are not in enjoying the music and the art about the video..!

  33. L.... H....

    Can someone explain me what does it mean the video, please?.
    I very much like this song..!

  34. M.... J....

    Forget Chuck Norris, Jack White can play drums even when he has only one drum. XD

  35. S.... G....

    No WAY!!! She is a FREAK!!! AND she seems like she is obsessed w/ JW!!

  36. o.... ....

    lol Why'd you say that?!

  37. P.... P....

    This band is a bomb in a continuous explosion. They won't stop.

  38. o.... ....

    Hey- I just added you to my address list. :)
    Sorry about that- IDK why there's a block on it! .__.

  39. o.... ....

    (sorry- out of room) Jack worked very hard rather than just get things handed to him. Yet, then again, he said these bands happened by accident (but so did Korn- by accident, but BEFORE they sold themselves, except Head).
    As for the oath, IDK about either, but I do know Alison became more famous due to Jack's help as well as being the front woman... but what they do in real life- you mean them perform satanic black magic or something? I'd sure hope not! .___.

  40. o.... ....

    It all sounds true, & I know that in satanic rituals, robes liks this are worn. But how do you know (I know you say you believe)- but how does one know if Jack did sell his soul?
    As for Alison, IDK, but she does behave as if totally demon possessed in almost all her perfomances in that band- the way she shakes & colnvulses is completely abnormal (in my opinion). As for jack, he doesn't seem to behave in that fashion, but IDK if he sold his soul or not, as he worked hard for where he's at now.

  41. A.... J....

    pero q rola tan mas chingona neta!!!!!!

  42. T.... A....

    You don't know that for sure :/

  43. R.... Z....

    This video is so awesome.

  44. o.... ....

    Yes, but there's also a reason they're creating such an eerie atmosphere. Same goes for some movies & books, etc.
    I just found the video rather disturbing. Just my opinion. If anyone else likes it, enjoy away!

  45. C.... B....

    Well, this is called acting, and I believe its purpose is to create an eerie atmosphere.

  46. C.... F....

    Only 430k views..... Something is seriously wrong with the world these days no?

  47. o.... ....

    If I don't like this, I won't watch it again, but this is actually my first time seeing this. It freaked me out! It reminds me of Illuminati crap- sorry- that's just my opinion.

  48. o.... ....

    WTF did I just watch?! This looks like they shot this video in hell! X__x They also looks like druids gone mad!
    This song is catchy, but dude! What's up w/ allison behaving as if she's possessed when she sits in that chair?! Weird.

  49. S.... ....

    The makeup is freaky!

  50. S.... K....

    My dad beats me..Once, when i was really younger, he said to me" listen to SOAD or you'll not get lunch for 5 days" :(
    Few days ago he bought a whip...And here i am..!

  51. P.... ....

    Oh gosh it's sexy.

  52. J.... ....

    Real rock music

  53. M.... H....

    When I die, I would like to take this band in my little grave.
    But I know we can't be five in a little grave. So Sad.

  54. F.... ....

    I was thinking, well, they are good, but they would be almost a ripoff of the White Stripes, making me almost go away. But then of course I noticed Jack White, I fucking hate myself for being this stupid and shallow for not being able to listen...

  55. y.... ....

    I like it...
    but shut your stupid face. people click the video. dont know anything about it. listen to it. don't like it. share their opinions.
    go fuck yourself

  56. A.... O....

    Why, thank you.

  57. G.... ....

    I like it but now I feel certain pressure coming from you.

  58. h.... ....

    Relax. Comment section is for poeple to share their opinion. If you don't like them, don't read them. No one has a gun to your head making you read them.

  59. T.... O....

    no necesitamos tus comentarios negativos acá, si no te gusta te invito a que te retires, si (:? la que tiene poca tolerancia sos vos, al no respetar algo que no te gusta, asco da otro tipo de música, pero esto definitivamente no.

  60. S.... ....

    and ugh ALLISON!!! the sexiest frontman (lady) of all time

  61. S.... ....

    go away!!!!

  62. S.... ....

    its really unbelievable. that they waste their PRECIOUS time on such non-sense

  63. J.... ....

    Does anyone else feel the similarities with "Another Way To Die"? the kind of similarities, that make me repel this song.
    yet, the White's sound is to appealing not to like the piece as a whole.

  64. K.... ....

    is your profile pic Lindsey Stirling? If so, that is a pretty dang sexy face too ;)

  65. M.... Y....

    jack white is the johnny depp of music <3

  66. A.... O....

    I mean 0:49-0:54. I'm talking about Jack, not Alison...

  67. A.... O....

    Oh my heck, 0:49-0:55 SEXIEST FACE EVER. *fans myself*

  68. M.... A....

    si, si, si lo que tu digas!
    Hay dios en señales a estas personas lo que es la TOLERANCIA! ya que aparentemente nadie puede comentar lo que se le antoje sin que personas de pocas neuronas respondan a los post!!!

  69. A.... ....

    Hahahhaha. I thought that a bit at first as well, but then I decided "no, that's just Jack White and his amazingness and Alison is sooooo amazing!!!!!!" :D

  70. M.... ....

    HOW COME I JUST FOUND THIS WHERE HAVE I BEEEEN

  71. J.... T....

    lets dig a hole in the sand brother <3

  72. E.... F....

    hmmmm what about the starving beauties in the river

  73. M.... A....

    asco!!!

  74. v.... c....

    what the fuck is wrong with you people if you dont like it dont watch or listen nobody has a gun to your head making you watch youtube

  75. N.... ....

    If my life were a movie, this would be the opening theme

  76. J.... D....

    This point of view, won't get you anywhere. Nevermind in how many bands you are or what you do you're still are a douchebag nobody would treat seriously.

  77. r.... ....

    Haha, did you really expect people to go "wow! well done!" when you acted like such a total douche?

  78. M.... ....

    Different bands serve different purposes for jack white I imagine. People would say he's creative, you are just a douche.

  79. 8.... ....

    Alison Mosshart is like the rockstar version of Helena Bonham Carter

  80. m.... ....

    this is boring

  81. m.... ....

    Her name is Floria Sigismondi and yes she directed " The Runaways " but also many many other video including " Blue Orchid " by The White Stripes " Beautiful People " by Marilyn Manson , " Fighter " by Christina Aguilera and many many more. :-D

  82. M.... ....

    Jack never dies...

  83. N.... T....

    Very Shamanistic

  84. C.... ....

    anda fucka u.

  85. C.... ....

    jackwhite is all in one.

  86. H.... W....

    I hope that was a joke..

  87. I.... S....

    I'm not sure just search on google that's what the internet is for :D but congrats on discovering them check out the kills also it's like the seperate band that the lead singer to this is in.

  88. k.... ....

  92. l.... ....

    no The Kills have made four albums and it always have been Alison and Jamie no one else! But The Raconteur and The Kills did tour for a couple of months in 2008 maybe the reason of your mistake

  93. G.... ....

    Perfect!

  94. b.... d....

    well done. now, the difference between you and white, is that white is not bragging about it. oh, wait...and the fact that you're a nobody -.-

  95. K.... M....

    our young Neil Young

  96. P.... M....

    Dammit, Jack..

  97. s.... ....

    could say the same about Jack Lawrence (the bassist here). Also Raconteurs, these guys and the Greenhorns.

  98. R.... H....

    But where's your money, man?

  99. n.... ....

    How many are famous. Every one he was in became famous, plus he owns a record label.
