There Won`t Be No Country Music Lyrics

There Won`t Be No Country Music lyrics

Well, it's only gonna be about an hour, friend 
'Til they dam your favorite river 
So you can water-ski just one more reservior 
And them supersonic ships are gonna take you  
'Cross a sea of pavement 
To one more faceless brickyard on the shore  
 
Yeah, it's only gonna be about an hour or so 
'Til they rip off all your mountains, boy 
And that one last tired old eagle bites the sand 
And all of that high-and-mighty scenery's 
Gonna be leveled to the ground, boy 
By a bunch a' them mindless strip mines on the land  
 
[Chorus] 
So listen well, my brothers 
When you hear the night wind sigh 
And you see the wild goose flying 
Through the gray, polluted sky 
There won't be no country music 
There won't be no rock 'n' roll 
'Cause when they take away our country 
They'll take away our soul  
 
Well, it's only gonna take about a minute or so 
'Til the junkyards fell 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 returns  
 
Yeah, it's only gonna take about a minute or so 
'Til the factories blot the sun out 
You gonna have to turn your lights on just to see 
And them lights are gonna be neon, sayin' 
"Fly Our Jets To Paradise" 
And the whole damn world is gonna be made of styrene  
 
[Chorus] 
So listen well, my brothers 
When you hear the night wind sigh 
And you see the wild goose flying 
Through the gray, polluted sky 
There won't be no country music 
There won't be no rock 'n' 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'a this country 
And they'll tell you not to listen to this here song 
And that far-off sound of freedom's 
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 to blind us 
So we just can't read all the 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  
 
[Chorus] 
 
THERE WON'T BE NO COUNTRY MUSIC 
THERE WON'T BE NO ROCK 'N' 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 'n' 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 'n' 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 'n' 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
