(there wont be no rock n roll)
(c.w. mccall, bill fries, chip davis)

Well, its 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, its 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 scenerys
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 wont be no country music
There wont be no rock n roll
cause when they take away our country
Theyll take away our soul

Well, its 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, its 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 wont be no country music
There wont be no rock n roll
cause when they take away our country
Theyll take away our soul

Yeah, its only gonna be about a second, boy
til they take away alla this country
And theyll tell you not to listen to this here song
And that far-off sound of freedoms
Gonna be an echo from the past
And the final tune is gonna be sad and long

And its only gonna be about an eye-blink, boy
til they pull out the wool to blind us
So we just cant 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 wont be no country music
There wont be no rock n roll
cause when they take away our country
Theyll take away our soul

There wont be no country music
There wont be no rock n roll
cause when they take away our country
Theyll take away our soul

There wont be no country music
There wont be no rock n roll
cause when they take away our country
Theyll take away our soul

There wont be no country music
There wont be no rock n roll
cause when they take away our country
Theyll take away our soul
cause when they take away our country
Theyll take away our soul
