Mountaintop Removal歌词

My darling my dear
I tell you what is wrong

I went to the mountain
But the mountain top 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 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

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 ****
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
