jason greene - kill the caribou lyrics

Loading...

call it iowa city and no one would know
but gold once was king there in the land of southern idaho
in a century’s time all kind landed
and eagle rock knew
that the placer gave way to a hunting preserve
but no one could k!ll the caribou

the miners today brag and tell you they feared for their lives on its perilous road
but as monte cristo will tell you that men were more certain when the mining slowed
the deeds to the land now belong to men whose steel can’t match the timber inside
and it pales to the color of ore that the chinese miners left behind

the wealthy sent shovels and then cowered in fear
at what mining can do
but they’ll be the ones in hiding to blame
if anyone k!lls the caribou

it was thirty_two brothels were burning into the night
when the city arrived
and the conscience of statesmen whose knowledge of wilderness
was no better than wise
they gathered the ashes and spread them in schools and homes and grocery store aisles
it’s the ones by the mountain who know that their way of life survives
only until the memory dies

the world is crying for money and they wait for their food
they level the mountains and leave us to pray
that no one can k!ll the caribou
