(There Won't Be No Rock 'N Roll)
|
Well it's only gonna be about a decade friend
Till they dam yer favorite river So you can water ski just one more reservoir And them supersonic ships is gonna take you cross that sea of pavement To one more faceless brickyard on the shore Yeah it's only gonna be about a year or so Till they rip off all yer mountains boy And that one last tired old eagle bites the sand And all a that high and mighty scenery's gonna be leveled to the ground boy By a bunch a them mindless strip mines on the land So listen well my brothers When you hear the night wind sigh And you see the wild goose flyin' through the grey polluted sky There won't be no country music There won't be no rock and roll Cause when they take away our country They'll take away our soul Well it's only gonna take about a month or so Till the junkyards fill the prairies boy And them smokin' yellow grass fires start to burn And the warnings on them beer cans gonna be buried in them landfills No deposit, no sad songs, and no return Yeah it's only gonna take about a week or so Till the factories blot the sun out An' you gonna have turn yer lights on just to see And them lights are gonna be neon, saying "Fly Our Jets To Paradise" And the whole damn world is gonna be made of styrene! So listen well my brothers When you hear the night wind sigh And you see the wild goose flyin' through the grey polluted sky There won't be no country music There won't be no rock and roll Cause when they take away our country They'll take away our soul Yeah it's only gonna be about a second boy Till they take away all of this country And they'll tell ya not to listen to this here song And that far off sound of freedom, is gonna be an echo from the past And the final tune is gonna be sad and long And it's only gonna be about an eyeblink boy Till they pull out the wool and blind us So we just can't read all a them messages on the wall But the only words that matter, oughta be scribbled all over them billboards In big old black and bloody letters TEN FEET TALL There won't be no country music There won't be no rock and roll Cause when they take away our country They'll take away our soul {Repeat 4 times} |
