It's hit or miss upon the gate walls
Are the guards asleep bayonet and all
Are the searchlights coming
We built this tunnel
We shovel with our hands
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromats
Inside the dirty sheets
Dig just a little bit
Soup kitchen feeds
Lines of stubble and marrow
A book of matches guides us home
Do they have our scent will we go home
We shovel with our hands
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromat
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromat
Live just a little bit
Dakota fields will beg
Meet you on the other side
Dig just a little bit
They steamed rolled past the lobby
Did you trip on your shoelace untied
It's in the past and now we toast
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Live just a little bit
Dakota fields will beg
Meet you on the other side
Winnepeg's a forest
Where the search and seizure hid
Wanted for the crime of the disease that you give
Are the guards asleep bayonet and all
Are the searchlights coming
We built this tunnel
We shovel with our hands
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromats
Inside the dirty sheets
Dig just a little bit
Soup kitchen feeds
Lines of stubble and marrow
A book of matches guides us home
Do they have our scent will we go home
We shovel with our hands
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromat
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Library laundromat
Live just a little bit
Dakota fields will beg
Meet you on the other side
Dig just a little bit
They steamed rolled past the lobby
Did you trip on your shoelace untied
It's in the past and now we toast
Dig just a little bit
The camp is vast asleep
Live just a little bit
Dakota fields will beg
Meet you on the other side
Winnepeg's a forest
Where the search and seizure hid
Wanted for the crime of the disease that you give

It`s about the Great Escape, stop trying to be a smartass and pick up a history book. "Libary laundromat inside the dirty sheets" refers to the library of different kinds of dirt that staind the clothing of the soldiers trying to escape the German prison camp by digging tunnels.
