Antinuke Song #2

[to "Rocky Top"]

Well, we're here to protect the rocky top

Of this Virginia hill

Don't make a bomb out of this old rocky top

And then send us a bill!

Rocky tops, just leave them be

Till they can grow a tree,

Good old rocky tops

Where the sunshine's always free,

The sunshine is always free.

Monthly payments to a company

Was strictly for the birds;

Blow us all up to profit that company?

There are just no words.

Company, take your nukes and stuff them

Into your own back yard.

Coal companies' done burnt us enough, then

This time we're on guard.

What can the company do with its money?

Should've asked us before.

Solar cells on house tops, Sonny,

Batteries that will store more.

You can buy a little country sunshine,

Send monthly payments to us.

This land's good for more than moonshine,

No need to raise any fuss.

Don't run waste off in the water

From a pure mountain spring

The whole dang South has to drink that water

So don't you dump in one thing.

Why have we borrowed the Tennessee school song?

Is it not plain to see?

This river runs down to the Tennessee River.

We are fighting for Tennessee.
