lyrics

It’s always been my dream
To make my home in the country
Beneath these wide open skies
Fall asleep at night
To the sound of the cricket chorus
Letting my cares pass me by

They dug up the fields today
They’re building a mini mall
Here come the coffee chains
I’m watching the tall oaks fall

It's still so real in my mind
A life of peace in the country
Watching the clouds roll on by
Now it's hard to sleep at night
With the future so uncertain
Was my dream just a lie?

They dug up the fields today
They’re building a mini mall
Here come the coffee chains
I’m watching the tall oaks fall

And the fast food wrappers will come blowing in
Rolling ‘cross the prairie like tumbleweeds
Dollar store consumerism heroin
Pushing plastic junk that nobody needs

It’s time to gather some things
In my little home in the country
I’ve wiped the tears from my eyes
Making a couple of plans
Reinventing the future
Someone somewhere has to try

They dug up the fields today
They’re building a mini mall
Here come the coffee chains
I’m watching the tall oaks fall

And the fast food wrappers will come blowing in
Rolling ‘cross the prairie like tumbleweeds
Dollar store consumerism heroin
Pushing plastic junk that nobody needs

Then the rootless lemmings with their power ties
Choking off the blood flow to their brains
Will build a society condo-sized
Along a flowing river of highway lanes
That lead to fields of department stores
Drowning out the stars with fluorescent light.
Happiness imported from a distant shore
Farewell fools, goodbye, God bless, goodnight

Farewell fools, goodbye, God bless, goodnight

Farewell fools, goodbye, God bless, goodnight

about

CRUST New Jersey

Four college bandmates with solid mediocre musicianship and unstoppable creative drive. E minor power anthems? Heck, yeah. Wizards, demons and circus freaks? Of course. Meandering, brain-numbing jams. All day long. Sappy power ballads? Child's play. High-quality, 64-bit digital recording and modern mastering? Not a chance. Fun? It's the bedrock of everything CRUST does. ... more
