R.E.M. "Cuyahoga" lyrics

Cuyahoga

Let's put our heads together and start a new country upOur father's father's father tried erased the parts he didn't likeLet's try to fill it in bank the quarry river swimWe knee skinned it you and me we knee skinned that river red

This is where we walked this is where we swamTake a picture here take a souvenir

This land is the land of ours this river runs red over itWe knee skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river redAnd we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swimWe knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed

This is where we walked, this is where we swamTake a picture here, take a souvenirCuyahogaCuyahoga, gone

Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,Take a picture here, take a souvenirCuyahogaCuyahoga, gone

Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in faithBury, burn the waste behind you

This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over itWe are not your allies, we can not defendThis is where they walked, this is where they swamTake a picture here, take a souvenir

CuyahogaCuyahoga, goneCuyahogaCuyahoga, gone
