There Won’t Be No Country Music – C.W. McCall – letras

(There Won’t Be No Rock ‘N’ Roll)(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis)Well, it’s only gonna be about an hour, friend’Til they dam your favorite riverSo you can water-ski just one more reserviorAnd them supersonic ships are gonna take you’Cross a sea of pavementTo one more faceless brickyard on the shoreYeah, it’s only gonna be about an hour or so’Til they rip off all your mountains, boyAnd that one last tired old eagle bites the sandAnd all of that high-and-mighty scenery’sGonna be leveled to the ground, boyBy a bunch a’ them mindless strip mines on the land[Chorus]So listen well, my brothersWhen you hear the night wind sighAnd you see the wild goose flyingThrough the gray, polluted skyThere won’t be no country musicThere won’t be no rock ‘n’ roll’Cause when they take away our countryThey’ll take away our soulWell, it’s only gonna take about a minute or so’Til the junkyards fell the prairies, boyAnd them smokin’ yellow grass fires start to burnAnd the warnings on them beer cansGonna be buried in them landfillsNo deposit, no sad songs, and no returnsYeah, it’s only gonna take about a minute or so’Til the factories blot the sun outYou gonna have to turn your lights on just to seeAnd them lights are gonna be neon, sayin' »Fly Our Jets To Paradise »And the whole damn world is gonna be made of styrene[Chorus]So listen well, my brothersWhen you hear the night wind sighAnd you see the wild goose flyingThrough the gray, polluted skyThere won’t be no country musicThere won’t be no rock ‘n’ roll’Cause when they take away our countryThey’ll take away our soulYeah, it’s only gonna be about a second, boy’Til they take away all’a this countryAnd they’ll tell you not to listen to this here songAnd that far-off sound of freedom’sGonna be an echo from the pastAnd the final tune is gonna be sad and longAnd it’s only gonna be about an eye-blink, boy’Til they pull out the wool to blind usSo we just can’t read all the messages on the wallBut the only words that matterOughta be scribbled all over them billboardsIn big old black and bloody letters, ten feet tall[Chorus]THERE WON’T BE NO COUNTRY MUSICTHERE WON’T BE NO ROCK ‘N’ ROLL’CAUSE WHEN THEY TAKE AWAY OUR COUNTRYTHEY’LL TAKE AWAY OUR SOULThere won’t be no country musicThere won’t be no rock ‘n’ roll’Cause when they take away our countryThey’ll take away our soulThere won’t be no country musicThere won’t be no rock ‘n’ roll’Cause when they take away our countryThey’ll take away our soulThere won’t be no country musicThere won’t be no rock ‘n’ roll’Cause when they take away our countryThey’ll take away our soul’Cause when they take away our countryThey’ll take away our soul
