Badless - Diamonds in The Coal lyrics

Your rating:

                     

 My name is jackson jamesona coal miner by trade

From a part of pennsylvania even jesus couldn't save

With towns named after indian chiefs and union army generals

It's nowhere in particular but everywhere in general



History says americanswe have the right to choose

But they never mention those of us whose opinions aren't used



Wellthe big flood came in '72 and tore the railroad bridges down

Washed away our only means of getting shipments out of town

And the government won't subsidize rebuilding the central line

So there's barroom fights and anthracite and loads of extra time



History says americanswe have the right to choose

But they never mention those of us whose opinions aren't used



Chorus



There's diamonds in the coal everybody ignores

A man never finds what he ain't looking for

A tree only grows if you nurture the seed

There's too many gems this world doesn't need



The people left like rainwater flowing through an open drain

But here I sit too proud to admit and too damn old to change

Nowthe monuments at gettysburg keep the tourists going there

But we died too slow and quietly for anyone to care



History says americanswe have the right to choose

But they never mention those of us whose opinions aren't used



Chorus
