There Won't Be No Country Music (There Won't Be No Rock 'N' Roll)

(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 river
 So you can water-ski just one more reservior
 And them supersonic ships are gonna take you
 'Cross a sea of pavement
 To one more faceless brickyard on the shore
 Yeah, it's only gonna be about an hour or so
 'Til they rip off all your mountains, boy
 And that one last tired old eagle bites the sand
 And all of that high-and-mighty scenery's
 Gonna be leveled to the ground, boy
 By a bunch a' them mindless strip mines on the land
 [Chorus]
 So listen well, my brothers
 When you hear the night wind sigh
 And you see the wild goose flying
 Through the gray, polluted sky
 There won't be no country music
 There won't be no rock 'n' roll
 'Cause when they take away our country
 They'll take away our soul
 Well, it's only gonna take about a minute or so
 'Til the junkyards fell the prairies, boy
 And them smokin' yellow grass fires start to burn
 And the warnings on them beer cans
 Gonna be buried in them landfills
 No deposit, no sad songs, and no returns
 Yeah, it's only gonna take about a minute or so
 'Til the factories blot the sun out
 You gonna have to turn your lights on just to see
 And 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 brothers
 When you hear the night wind sigh
 And you see the wild goose flying
 Through the gray, polluted sky
 There won't be no country music
 There won't be no rock 'n' roll
 'Cause when they take away our country
 They'll take away our soul
 Yeah, it's only gonna be about a second, boy
 'Til they take away all'a this country
 And they'll tell you not to listen to this here song
 And that far-off sound of freedom's
 Gonna be an echo from the past
 And the final tune is gonna be sad and long
 And it's only gonna be about an eye-blink, boy
 'Til they pull out the wool to blind us
 So we just can't read all the messages on the wall
 But the only words that matter
 Oughta be scribbled all over them billboards
 In big old black and bloody letters, ten feet tall
 [Chorus]
 THERE WON'T BE NO COUNTRY MUSIC
 THERE WON'T BE NO ROCK 'N' ROLL
 'CAUSE WHEN THEY TAKE AWAY OUR COUNTRY
 THEY'LL TAKE AWAY OUR SOUL
 There won't be no country music
 There won't be no rock 'n' roll
 'Cause when they take away our country
 They'll take away our soul
 There won't be no country music
 There won't be no rock 'n' roll
 'Cause when they take away our country
 They'll take away our soul
 There won't be no country music
 There won't be no rock 'n' roll
 'Cause when they take away our country
 They'll take away our soul
 'Cause when they take away our country
 They'll take away our soul
