Smoke keeps rising from the coal Feed the fire and burn it slow I don't need my eyes to see it's wrong Everything I know will soon be gone Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh-oh k** the crops and steal the stones To make the streets and build the homes Let it down and keep moving on Everything I know will soon be gone Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh-oh There's no more water down in the well The dirt is dry and it's hot as hell
The sun keeps beating and the days are long Everything I know will soon be gone Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh-oh Oh keep the skins and leave the bones For warm fur coats and leather thrones I don't need my eyes to see it's wrong Everything I know will soon be gone Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh-oh Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh-oh whoa oh-oh
