歌词
Well it's only gonna be about a decade friend
'Til they dam your favorite river
So you can water ski just one more reservoir
And them supersonic ships is gonna take you
Cross a sea of pavement
To one more faithless brickyard on the shore
Yeah it's only gonna be about a year or so
'Til they rip off all your mountains boy
And that one last tired old eagle bites the sand
And all that high and mighty scenery
Is gonna be leveled to the ground boy
By a bunch of 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 flying
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
'Til the junkyards fill the prairies boy
And them smokin' yellow grass fires start to burn
And the warnings on them beer cans
Is 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
'Til the factories block the sun out
And you're gonna have to turn your 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 flying
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
'Til they take away all of this country
And they'll tell you 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 eye blink boy
'Til they pull out the wool and blind us
So we just can't read all the messages on the wall
But the only words that matter
Ought to be scribbled all over them billboards
In big old black and bloody letters ten feet tall
So listen well my brothers
When you hear the night wind sigh
And you see the wild goose flying
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
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
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
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
'Cause when they take away our country
They'll take away our soul
