Song 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 and start a new country up

Up underneath the river bed we'll burn 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 and rule 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 cannot defend


This is where they walked

This is where they swam

Take a picture here

Take a souvenir


Cuyahoga

Cuyahoga, gone

Cuyahoga

Cuyahoga, gone
