Liner Notes

#folkrock #acousticonetake
A late and very quick skirmish entry. I initially had no ideas for the topic of sharp objects until I imagined the link between mountaintop removal mining and the idea of moving to Mars.

Lyrics

At the side of the road
A little metal sign
Former site of Dynamite Ridge
A mountain once stood here
Now it’s only a ditch

Down a little trail
Reflection of the sky
A pond where trees wouldn’t grow
You could tell that was a place
Where no one should go

Cut up the mountain
Till there’s nothing left of the land
When you cut up the mountain
Where do you stand

Start at the top
Work your way down
Down till you hit rock bottom
Whatever rocks were there
For sure you had got ’em

Cut up the mountain
Till there’s nothing left of the land
When you cut up the mountain
Where do you stand

Now I think I see why people say that
Mars is the place to go
After you cut up a mountain
Move on to the next one
Pretty soon
That’s all you know

Cut up the mountain
Till there’s nothing left of the land
When you cut up the mountain
Where do you stand
