Cuyahoga

Let's put our heads together And start a new country up Our father's father's father tried Erased the parts he didn't like Let's try to fill it in Bank the quarry river, swim We knee-skinned it you and me We knee-skinned that river red This is where we walked This is where we swam Take a picture here Take a souvenir This land is the land of ours This river runs red over it We knee-skinned it you and me We knee-skinned that river red And we gathered up our friends Bank the quarry river, swim We knee-skinned it you and me Up underneath the river bed This is where we walked This is where we swam Take a picture here Take a souvenir Cuyahoga Cuyahoga, gone Let's put our heads together And start a new country up Up underneath the river bed We'll burn the river down This is where they walked, swam Hunted, danced and sang Take a picture here Take a souvenir Cuyahoga Cuyahoga, gone Rewrite the book and rule the pages Saving face, secured in faith Bury, burn the waste behind you This land is the land of ours This river runs red over it We are not your allies We cannot defend This is where they walked This is where they swam Take a picture here Take a souvenir Cuyahoga Cuyahoga, gone Cuyahoga Cuyahoga, gone --- Cuyahoga - R.E.M.
