Mountaintop Removal |
| Ah, ah,-ah, uh, ah-ah, uh, ah-ah |
| Ah, ah-ah, uh, ah-ah, uh, ah-ah |
| My darling, my dear, I’ll tell you what is wrong |
| I went to the mountain, but the mountaintop was gone |
| Remember those trees where as kids we dreamed? |
| They tore 'em down years ago, and built a factory |
| And when that plant closed, the workers all left town |
| I read in the paper that some kids were killed when it burnt down |
| Now I stare at that field like a circle in the earth |
| And nothing will grow now, that’s not soil, it’s just dirt |
| And I can’t stand it, what’s the use in making something new |
| If all that made us must be ruined? |
| I can’t demand it, I got nothing but mounting debt and fear |
| I scratch my head wondering how we got here |
| America, Americans |
| What are we doing? |
| America, I am American |
| Please, can we start again? |
| America (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh), American (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh) |
| Mountaintop Removal shames our name |
| My darling, my dear, I’ll tell you what is right |
| The moon on the lake and swimming by its light |
| My darling, my dear, I’ll tell you what is wrong |
| I went to the mountain, but the mountaintop was gone |
| And I can’t stand it, what’s the use in making something new |
| If all that made us must be ruined? |
| I can’t demand shit, I got nothing but mounting debt and fear |
| We scratch our heads wondering how we got here |
| America (yeah-e-yeah), Americans (yeah-e-yeah) |
| What are we doing? |
| America, I am American |
| Please, can we start again? |
| America (yeah-e-yeah) (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh), American (yeah-e-yeah) |
| (ooh-whoo-ooh-ooh) |
| America (yeah-e-yeah), Americans (yeah-e-yeah) |
| Think of your children |
| America, Americans |
| What they’re inheriting |
| Money, soon it will be gone |
| Oh, no, now money never lasts that long |
| Oh, but honey, now your mountain’s gone |
| The rivers are toxic, and your children are all sick |
| Whoa, whoa-ah-ah, whoa-ah-ah-ah-ah |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah |
| Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah-ah |
| My darling, my dear, I’ll tell you what is wrong |
| I went to the mountain, but the mountaintop was gone |
| Mountaintop Removal shames our name |
