Well, it's only gonna be about an hour, friend, till they *** your favorite river so you canwater-ski just one more reservoir, and them supersonic ships are gonna take you acrossa sea of pavement to one more faceless brickyard on the shore. Yeah, it's only gonna be about anhour or so till they rip off all your mountains, boy, and that one last tired old eagle bites thesand. And all of that high and mighty scenery's gonna be leveled to the ground, boy, by a bunchof them mindless strip mines on land. So listen well, my brothers, when you hear the night windsigh, and you see the wild goose flyin' through the gray 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 minute or so till the junkyards fell to 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 minute or so till the factories blot the sun out, and you're 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 ***n world's 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 gray 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 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, till they pull out the world 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 ol' 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.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.*
