Deer Tick - The Dream's In The Ditch Lyrics






Well the dream's in the ditch
Now the kids are all pissed
But its not new to hate what they make you do
First they pull all your teeth
Then they'll want you to eat
Well get over it kid
You don't want any part in it

But its not the way you cant afford your time
Or the envy of the friends you've left behind
So whenever you go they can have everything you lose
Is this it? This is it

So they paid you to scream
But it buried your dreams
So you wait for the pain
That will send you to sleep again
Now you walk with your wolves
Like you got nothing to lose
Act like you don't care
While you pray for a cross to bear

But its not the way you cant afford your time
Or the envy of the friends you've left behind
So whenever you go they can have everything you lose
Is this it? This is it

Is this it?
Is this it?
This is it!

But its not the way you cant afford your time
Or the envy of the friends you've left behind
So whenever you go they can have everything you lose
This is it. Is this it?

    don't understand why there's dislikes on this..

  19. t.... ....

    you talk like an old, poor person. ew and yawn. #wronguseoftoo #ifyouwanttogettechnical

  20. j.... m....

    You have a young person's correlation. No, I've been married for ten years - good try though. One of them bang you or something? I'm giving my honest critique of a band - the "art", how it became possible and the marketability of the band and music is what I am referring too. I wish they would stick to their original sound and material. It felt more authentic and less like desperately trying to fit into main stream.

  21. t.... ....

    cool story. did one of them bang your girlfriend or something?

  22. j.... m....

    Mid grade venue for a mid grade band. We already did folk indie in the 90's and called it grunge. Maturity - nah, more like running out of good material and trying to be more pop. Dylan matured his music as it got older. It was still good, but nearly as good as the early stuff overall. And it is "background", not back ground if you want to get technical - but that is all silliness.

  23. M.... S....

    last i saw them they sold out the rex theater in pittsburgh a mid grade venue in the area. i have a back ground in music and am a former internet radio show host. with limited text i cannot get into the detail i would like to on how false your comment is. we aren't talking about imagine dragons. this is a folk indie movement band. their sound isn't meant to be pop. war elephant was a good album, but this album shows their maturity in music. ad its ashamed. not "cryin' shame"

  24. j.... m....

    So how is they are exposed to millions of TV viewers four times now and don't have a hit or more FB fans? Probably because they are a Class-C band with Class-C music. Back in the day, he had a few good songs... if he kept with that, I think he may have a hit eventually. He played the wrong song on his first view on Letterman - should've been These Old Shoes or Cryin Shame. Good luck filling up a stadium with Negativity. Daddy can buy the networks of people, but consumers buy the music.

  25. M.... S....

    dude, i have seen these guys back in 09 when they were barely filling local bars in cleveland and pittsburgh. this isn't their first album. they paid their dues. before conan they were on letterman twice i believe (might only be once), and they earned those appearances.

  26. b.... b....

    Why such an intense amount of dislikes?

  27. g.... ....

    I dig it! It's kinda Springsteenishly sounding.

  28. t.... ....

    Jealous much? Their music is actually pretty good compared to 99.9% of the bullshit out there right now, so go put on your Justin Bieber and cry elsewhere please.

  29. A.... F....

    Super butt-hurt.

  30. j.... m....

    Not bad for a band led by the privileged son of a former Congressman who was arrested in Rhode Island for defrauding the federal government of $500K. It's funny how money can buy connections. It's ironic that a band who considers themselves hipster and "against the man" is actually a product of a Congressman. Ha! When daddy knows Conan, son gets on show. Leave Tom Petty's sound to Tom Petty.

  31. C.... R....

    keep it up guys =)

  32. K.... B....

    I guess 28 people must have dreams in the ditch.

  33. J.... S....

    this is it!

  34. A.... G....

    I love how this takes place in providence

  35. C.... R....

    Ghostridin' da whip!

  36. N.... l....

    wow wat a cool video!! seems like u guys had soo much fun making this!!!! can not wait for the album!!

  37. T.... P....

    One hell of a way to start off a shitty Tuesday!
