I read in the paper that Some kids were killed When it burnt down
Now I stare at that field
Like circle in the earth
And nothing’ll grow now That’s not soil It’s just dirt And I cant stand it What’s the use in making something new
If all that made us must be ruined I cant demand it I got nothing but Mounting debt and fear I scratch my head wondering How we got here
America
American What are we doing
America I am American Please can we start again
Mountaintop removal
Shames our name
Darling my dear
I tell you what is right
The moon on the lake
And swimming by its light
Darling my dear
I tell you what is wrong
I went to the mountain But the mountain top was gone And I cant stand it What’s the use in making something new If all that made us must be ruined I cant demand shit I got nothing But mounting debt and fear We scratch our heads Wondering how we got here
America
Americans What are we doing
America I am American Please can we start again
America
Americans Think of your children
America
Americans What th’hell are we doin’
And darlin’ my dear
I tell you what is wrong
I went to the mountain But the mountain top was gone
