lyrics

They don't care about the water up in
Hoosick Falls
Let em drink cola I heard the governor call
and the sea is far and wide
a greyhound bus I ride
this land was never made for you and me

You know he fell off that scaffolding
whats his family going to do with him?
and we all threw in the collection envelope
it was dirty, crumpled, and very thin

A starving bear lost at sea
the sun beats it brow the whiteness
blinding while pink and blue balloons
fill up the massive room
a mother smiles another gift for
the perfect child

It used to be ya get your head cracked
out on the picket line
now they got you on your knees begging
for overtime
cause your lucky to have a job
maybe one day youll be a boss
your a scab, a pretender, a coward

The ones with money escaped to their seconds homes
and not a single one ever caught the cough
and we worked their place a while
its looks so good they said and smiled
so essential I heard them cackle
as the scraps did fall

They beat Thersites in the shadow of the one man
George Washington making a land grab
the bodies swung in the trees
the scalps lay thick as autumn leaves
with a powder-horn,a telescope, and the word of god

I was sitting by the hudson the ice did flow
a screech owl in a cedar tree was hunting the swamps
I was hunting too as Orion's belt shone through
the smog the metal cold of the moonless sky.
