lyrics

You said I had to move away, I could no longer call this my place
No matter which way I would turn “I could not defeat eminent domain”
Because my roots are here your fancy suits I can not fear
So when you bring in the law you better bring it well reinforced
How could I fight in court when the state has won them all
So bring it on for the progress That you've claimed
this injustice must look me in the face
We will have to resort to an old fashion fight between right and wrong
I know the time is here and your shiny guns I can not fear
Farewell humble skyline of old its a lost cause after all
The end we were all born to know I'll find it here in the place I call home
