josh rister – black lung, u.s.a. lyrics
(verse 1)
didn’t realize how bad we had it
til’ i packed up my bags and moved out of appalachia
to a city where professors and congressmen told me so
and the way i see it, they ain’t tryna’ beat it
just as long as we bide our time and mine our coal
(verse 2)
when i was in high school, a teacher told me
son, this ain’t the kinda’ place that you wanna’ be
take a word of advice, and move on out
and now that i have, i know
exactly what he was talking about
(verse 3)
the metaphorical sinkhole of the east
the brightеst stick around to earn their piecе
till they get big enough, then they move uptown
you can see them anywhere but here
still singing songs about the hills in their hometown
(verse 4)
but who would ever wanna’ move back to these hills?
where ya’ choose between your water and your grocery bills
blessed are the hungry, or so they say
and we’re too happy being poor
to be treated any other type of way
(verse 5)
but don’t we have it better after all?
cause when you’re already broke there ain’t nowhere to fall
we’ll just sit around and hope for better days
but stop on by, we’re glad you’re here
welcome to black lung, usa
