So go tell Mr. Zanuck to read it and weep, 'Cause I'm not just here to day, I'm here to dig deep. From the 20th century Foxholes I'm released And just like the sun, I'm rising in the east. I made a move from that permanent state of sadness To prove there's a method to my madness. I'm waking up from that 20th century sleep, I'm not just here to day, I'm here to dig deep. Well there ain't no sin to remove your skin And to take a look under the hood. Mm-hmm... Well you must dispel the outer shell, Though you have to admit my shell looks good. You're tearing me apart! I'll finally get to use my mind's interior And not only just my bust and my posterior, 'Cause the true inner self you can't avoid And we're just nuts about Sigmund Freud, So open up my id for a good clean sweep, 'Cause I'm not just here to dig, No, I'm not just here to dig, Oh, I'm not just here to dig, I'm here to dig deep!
