[Verse 1: Brandi Hart]
Tall city-slicker with a lie to sell
Comin' up in here where I dwell
Now I'm livin' in a bombed-out shell
Took my heaven and they built a hell
('Til your future is a song that remains unsung)
Ruination day at hand
Poison water and a back-room plan
Bought and sold my native land
There once was a mountain where I stand
('Til your future is a song that remains unsung)

[Verse 2: Tomasia]
You don't know my face
You don't know my name
I talk different than you and I don't look the same
I speak in circles to back up my claim
I will rob you blind; rape, pillage, and maim
Yo, I'm so connected and it goes so far
Pollution so bad it'll rot your car
Not to mention your brain and lungs
'Til your future is a song that remains unsung

[Chorus: Brandi Hart]
Hey hey, fi-diddle-day
The luscious green is now dead and gray
Hi hi, fi-diddle-die
Let's trade these hills for an empty sky
[Verse 3: Tomasia]
Particulate mercury, lead, arsenic
Your whole family's sick, miners buried in a ditch
[?] from hollow valley filled
Toxic by-products making you ill
There's a coal-burning plant on the horizon
Life expectancy falls and profits risin'
Money pays legislators, they do us favors
Now you got a brain tumor
So do five of your neighbors

[Chorus: Brandi Hart]
Hey hey, fi-diddle-day
The luscious green is now dead and gray
Hi hi, fi-diddle-die
Let's trade these hills for an empty sky

[Verse 4: Brandi Hart]
Let the picket lines get blurred
Let the prophet's soul get slurred
Profit ain't no dirty word
But what he said ain't what I heard
('Til your future is a song that remains unsung)
Seduce the man and bribe the press
All in the name of "progress"
You double-talk, I second-guess
You get more and I get less
('Til your future is a song that remains unsung)
[Verse 5: Tomasia]
Bust your union to crush your will
Take all of the jobs as we go in for the kill
Blast the mountain where there would be a windmill
Blow it all to smithereens 'til there's just rubble on a hill
Loud sound effects, mad birth defects
Jobs you never see we use as a pretext
When it rains it'll flood, bury your home in mud
Ain't no love
Carcinogens in your blood

[Chorus: Brandi Hart]
Hey hey, fi-diddle-day
The luscious green is now dead and gray
Hi hi, fi-diddle-die
Let's trade these hills for an empty sky

[Verse 6: Tomasia]
Grassroots movement just might shut us down
We gotta stop them before they run us outta town
Listen to the chants, see the people, hear the sound
Guess like a windmill what goes around comes around

[Chorus: Brandi Hart]
Hey hey, fi-diddle-day
The luscious green is now dead and gray
Hi hi, fi-diddle-die
Let's trade these hills for an empty sky
