My darling my dear I tell you what is wrong I went to the mountain But the mountain top was gone Remember those trees Where as kids we dreamed They tore em down years ago And built a factory And when that plant closed The workers all left town I read in the paper that Some kids were killed When it burnt down Now I stare at that field Like circle in the earth And nothing’ll grow now That’s not soil It’s just dirt And I cant stand it What’s the use in making something new If all that made us must be ruined I cant demand it I got nothing but Mounting debt and fear I scratch my head wondering How we got here America American What are we doing America I am American Please can we start again Mountaintop removal Shames our name Darling my dear I tell you what is right The moon on the lake And swimming by its light Darling my dear I tell you what is wrong I went to the mountain But the mountain top was gone And I cant stand it What’s the use in making something new If all that made us must be ruined I cant demand shit I got nothing But mounting debt and fear We scratch our heads Wondering how we got here America Americans What are we doing America I am American Please can we start again America Americans Think of your children America Americans What th’hell are we doin’ And darlin’ my dear I tell you what is wrong I went to the mountain But the mountain top was gone Mountaintop removal Shames our name
