Lyrics:

Well the fires are tended
Well the fires are tended
And my blood it just boils
And my blood it just boils
(hey there pass your hat)
(hey there pass your hat)
And the fruits of hard labor
And the fruits of hard labor
Have been drowned in snake oil
Have been drowned in snake oil
(hey there pass your hat)
(hey there pass your hat)

The dead are thin
The dead are thin
Their houses fat
Their houses fat
Once you steal you can't give back
Once you steal you can't give back
From the scaffold greed explodes
From the scaffold greed explodes
Down to nothing
Down to nothing
Down where nothing brings you down
Down where nothing brings you down

Well we've all been to heaven
Well we've all been to heaven
And we've all been to hell
And we've all been to hell
(hey there pass your hat)
(hey there pass your hat)
And the door-to-door salesmen there
And the door-to-door salesmen there
Have nothing left to sell
Have nothing left to sell
(hey there pass your hat)
(hey there pass your hat)

And the poison you choose
And the poison you choose
Is the source of my confusion
Is the source of my confusion
And I spend all my time
And I spend all my time
Trying to figure what you're using
Trying to figure what you're using

Well the bones of contention
Well the bones of contention
Are at the top of your stairs
Are at the top of your stairs
(hey there pass your hat)
(hey there pass your hat)
And they'll shake and they'll rattle
And they'll shake and they'll rattle
'til somebody cares
'til somebody cares
(hey there pass your hat)
(hey there pass your hat)

The dead are thin
The dead are thin
Their houses fat
Their houses fat
Once you steal you can't give back
Once you steal you can't give back
From the scaffold greed explodes
From the scaffold greed explodes
Down to nothing
Down to nothing
Down where nothing brings you down
Down where nothing brings you down

And the poison you choose

Is the source of my confusion
And the poison you choose
And I spend all my time
Is the source of my confusion
Trying to figure what you're using
And I spend all my time

Trying to figure what you're using
Please pass your hat x5

Won't you pass your hat
Please pass your hat x5
Won't you pass your hat
