otter creek – bidder 70 كلمات اغاني

down in west virginia the old timers know
how corporations traded miners lives for coal
now the work is safer but the mountain tops are gone
those riches from the ground never hang around too long
the violence cast a shadow that rises from the stones
fills the empty hollers of logan and mingo
you can hear the echo of those “red neck” union boys
“we’re not looking for your mercy. no!
we’re asking you to join!”

a native of that country he came out west to school
worked with troubled youth, helped them learn to keep the rules
but some rules were made for breaking and he thought the world should know
about an insider auction for oil and gas and coal
he walked into that room and he looked them in the eye
posing as a bidder he raised his hand to buy
purchased all the land even though he had no coin
he wasn’t looking out for mercy. no!
he was there to join!

the greasy wheels of justice, the powerful elite
hauled him into court, an example, they thought, in defeat
he answered in a voice that shook the very room
and pledged his dis-allegiance to their rules of ruin
he said “this is what love looks like when laws are in the wrong
the only choice to make is what side you will be on
i’m not afraid to stand against those who destroy
i’m not looking for your mercy. no!
i’m asking you to join!

will you walk with him?
will you rise and use your voice?
we’re not looking for your mercy. no!
we’re asking you to join!
