Indigo Girls - 1 2 3
From the bowery to the brimstone
Tried to find your heart
Drugs of initiation
Bottom of a barrel that drops
I understand your causes
Sympathize the motivation
But all the details of this war
Are just self-infatuation
★ Chorus ★
And it's one two three
Nothing’s for free
Four five six
Pick up the sticks
And go home
Better own up to me, yeah
★ Verse 2 ★
Your manic blood runs thick my friend
Are you looking for a clean escape?
What's left when the locks have all been broken
Young children of authority?
How long can you be agile
Dancing 'tween the altar and the mercy seat?
Yeah, now here’s a chance to make a choice
Are you aware of the fire beneath your feet?
★ Chorus ★
One two three
Nothing's for free
Four five six
Pick up the sticks
And go home
Better own up to me, yeah
Yeah, yeah, go home
★ Bridge ★
The basement lies within us
Our fear comes through the door
There's nothing left between us
And the fear becomes a roar
★ Verse 3 ★
Once that wheel is in motion
Now don't lose what you have found
I'm talking 'bout that burning wheel of tongues
Everything that makes it go round and around
We're all born in the devil's scorn
He wants to see you die
I’m asking you, "Are you true?"
And everything they say is a lie, is a lie
★ Chorus ★
One two three
Nothing’s for free
Four five six
Pick up the sticks
And go
One two three
Nothing's for free
Four five six
Pick up the sticks
And go
★ Outro ★
One two three (We’re all born)
Nothing's for free (In the devil's scorn)
One two three (We're all born)
Nothing’s for free (In the devil's scorn)
Everything they say is a lie, it's a lie now
(We're all born in the devil's scorn)
Everything they say is a lie, it's a lie now
Pick up the sticks (Pick up the sticks)
Pick up the sticks (Pick up the sticks)
Pick up the sticks (Pick up the sticks)
Pick up the sticks
And go home
Thank you
Thanks, ❲?❳
Thanks

Biography
After signing with Epic Records in 1988, their eponymous sophomore album arrived the following year, featuring their first Hot 100 hit (and signature song) “Closer To Fine”. Within seven months, the album was certified gold by the RIAA so Epic rushed to re-release Strange Fire, adding a cover of the 1960s Youngbloods hit “Get Together” that was featured on the television show The Wonder Years.
As of 2013, the Indigo Girls had been nominated for several Grammy awards (winning one) and sold over 7 million records, with six of their albums being certified gold or above. They are also known for their activism in many social and political concerns like Native American land rights, environmental issues, gun safety, death penalty abolishment, and gay and lesbian rights.
