lirik lagu gangstagrass – mountaintop
[verse 1: brandi hart]
tall city-sl!cker with a lie to sell
comin’ up in here where i dwell
now i’m livin’ in a bombed-out sh-ll
took my heaven and they built a h-ll
(’til your future is a song that remains unsung)
ruination day at hand
poison water and a back-room plan
bought and sold my native land
there once was a mountain where i stand
(’til your future is a song that remains unsung)
[verse 2: tomasia]
you don’t know my face
you don’t know my name
i talk different than you and i don’t look the same
i speak in circles to back up my claim
i will rob you blind; rape, pillage, and maim
yo, i’m so connected and it goes so far
pollution so bad it’ll rot your car
not to mention your brain and lungs
’til your future is a song that remains unsung
[chorus: brandi hart]
hey hey, fi-diddle-day
the luscious green is now dead and gray
hi hi, fi-diddle-die
let’s trade these hills for an empty sky
[verse 3: tomasia]
particulate mercury, lead, -rs-nic
your whole family’s sick, miners buried in a ditch
[?] from hollow valley filled
toxic by-products making you ill
there’s a coal-burning plant on the horizon
life expectancy falls and profits risin’
money pays legislators, they do us favors
now you got a brain tumor
so do five of your neighbors
[chorus: brandi hart]
hey hey, fi-diddle-day
the luscious green is now dead and gray
hi hi, fi-diddle-die
let’s trade these hills for an empty sky
[verse 4: brandi hart]
let the picket lines get blurred
let the prophet’s soul get slurred
profit ain’t no dirty word
but what he said ain’t what i heard
(’til your future is a song that remains unsung)
seduce the man and bribe the press
all in the name of “progress”
you double-talk, i second-guess
you get more and i get less
(’til your future is a song that remains unsung)
[verse 5: tomasia]
bust your union to crush your will
take all of the jobs as we go in for the k!ll
blast the mountain where there would be a windmill
blow it all to smithereens ’til there’s just rubble on a hill
loud sound effects, mad birth defects
jobs you never see we use as a pretext
when it rains it’ll flood, bury your home in mud
ain’t no love
carcinogens in your blood
[chorus: brandi hart]
hey hey, fi-diddle-day
the luscious green is now dead and gray
hi hi, fi-diddle-die
let’s trade these hills for an empty sky
[verse 6: tomasia]
gr-ssroots movement just might shut us down
we gotta stop them before they run us outta town
listen to the chants, see the people, hear the sound
guess like a windmill what goes around comes around
[chorus: brandi hart]
hey hey, fi-diddle-day
the luscious green is now dead and gray
hi hi, fi-diddle-die
let’s trade these hills for an empty sky
