Cuyahoga Lyrics

    Let’s put our heads together and start a new country up
    Our father’s father’s father tried, erased the parts he didn’t like
    Let’s try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
    We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

    This is where we walked, this is where we swam
    Take a picture here, take a souvenir

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

    This is where we walked, this is where we swam
    Take a picture here, take a souvenir
    Cuyahoga
    Cuyahoga, 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 souvenir
    Cuyahoga
    Cuyahoga, gone

    Rewrite the book remove the pages, saving face, secured in faith
    Bury, burn the waste behind you

    This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
    We are not your allies, we can not defend
    This is where they walked, this is where they swam
    Take a picture here, take a souvenir

    Cuyahoga
    Cuyahoga, gone
    Cuyahoga
    Cuyahoga, gone
