Lyrics My Morning Jacket

My Morning Jacket

Compound Fracture

Compound fracture gonna ring the gong

And sound a warning of what's to come

If we ain't careful as to where we step

Paradise calling or untimely death

Compound fracture gotta set the bone

Wrap it up let it heal on it's own

Don't walk on it, give it time to rest

There's no evil, there's no good

Only people doing as they should

There is life in love and sound

Get as much as you can keep around

Before they put you into the ground

For who knows how long, how long

I know you're young, that's the time to learn

If we're too soft on you, you will get burned

Fill your skull with what you want

Can't be all action all the time

Just got to give it some time, time, oh

There's no evil, there's no good

Only people doing as they should

Or as they shouldn't in the light of day

"God" and "The Devil" were made up anyway

But their meanings so real and so plain

There is life in love and sound

Get as much as you can keep around

Before they put you into the ground

For who knows how long, how long

For who knows how long, how long

Till the next go round

Till the next go round
