mc chris - whynot minot lyrics
as if no one ever told ya
magic city north dakota
was a town that met its quota
really quick
a railroad track hacked through a prairie
packed with goods it liked to carry
a smoking stack so very scary
black and thick
train was grounded can’t reroute it
so a simple town was founded
bedouins were all about it
this would stick
a tent went up and in five months
the place went nuts with cowboys stuff
this city is fitting for i
treasure tricks
[chorus]
why not immot let us pray we will somehow find a way
the waters might come rising but up high they’ll never stay
we’ll make our rivals cuz our prides a tidal wave
there’s not a lot to save but we’ve got dignity for days
we won’t accept to defeat though tragedy repeats
the tempest just a test that won’t get the best of me
i hear why you don’t leave how could i leave the air i breathe
minot is a lighthouse in a sea of golden wheat
minot north dakota
is like dagoba to yoda
heaven to jehovah
no offense
the town went down the cr-pper
filled with gangsters and their flappers
everybody’s lookin dapper
in their threads
tunnels underground
never meant to be found
delivered booze barrel bound
for the head
capone was a gnome
flooded folks with the foam
hard liquor in your dome
will leave you dead
[chorus]
1969
it was such a crazy time
there wasn’t any crime
and there was peace
the clouds gathered once again
black and think is this the end
a flood is not my friend
it is a beast
to its cave it did retreat
and the city found its feet
but this catastrophic fleet
would never cease
and that railroad of hill
would bring a chemical spill
it made every body ill
we need relief
[chorus]
the story doesn’t get better
the city just gets wetter
somebody send a letter
to mother nature
another flood in elven
had us praying up to heaven
when will you be sending us
another savior
4000 homes are in the zone
now i’m living all alone
everything that i did own
well it’s just vapor
i got a trailer from fema
cuz minot’s a marina
it’s my little iwo jima
sign the papers
[chorus]
