C.w. Mccall - There Won't Be No Country Music Lyrics
(there wont be no rock n roll)(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)Well, its only gonna be about an hour, friendtil they dam your favorite riverSo you can water-ski just one more reserviorAnd them supersonic ships are gonna take youcross a sea of pavementTo one more faceless brickyard on the shoreYeah, its only gonna be about an hour or sotil they rip off all your mountains, boyAnd that one last tired old eagle bites the sandAnd all of that high-and-mighty scenerysGonna be leveled to the ground, boyBy a bunch a them mindless strip mines on the land[chorus]So listen well, my brothersWhen you hear the night wind sighAnd you see the wild goose flyingThrough the gray, polluted skyThere wont be no country musicThere wont be no rock n rollcause when they take away our countryTheyll take away our soulWell, its only gonna take about a minute or sotil the junkyards fell the prairies, boyAnd them smokin yellow grass fires start to burnAnd the warnings on them beer cansGonna be buried in them landfillsNo deposit, no sad songs, and no returnsYeah, its only gonna take about a minute or sotil the factories blot the sun outYou gonna have to turn your lights on just to seeAnd them lights are gonna be neon, sayinFly our jets to paradiseAnd the whole damn world is gonna be made of styrene[chorus]So listen well, my brothersWhen you hear the night wind sighAnd you see the wild goose flyingThrough the gray, polluted skyThere wont be no country musicThere wont be no rock n rollcause when they take away our countryTheyll take away our soulYeah, its only gonna be about a second, boytil they take away alla this countryAnd theyll tell you not to listen to this here songAnd that far-off sound of freedomsGonna be an echo from the pastAnd the final tune is gonna be sad and longAnd its only gonna be about an eye-blink, boytil they pull out the wool to blind usSo we just cant read all the messages on the wallBut the only words that matterOughta be scribbled all over them billboardsIn big old black and bloody letters, ten feet tall[chorus]There wont be no country musicThere wont be no rock n rollcause when they take away our countryTheyll take away our soulThere wont be no country musicThere wont be no rock n rollcause when they take away our countryTheyll take away our soulThere wont be no country musicThere wont be no rock n rollcause when they take away our countryTheyll take away our soulThere wont be no country musicThere wont be no rock n rollcause when they take away our countryTheyll take away our soulcause when they take away our countryTheyll take away our soul
