lyrics

Well I pillage and plunder so it ain't no wonder now the water I can't stand the smell
And the ice caps are shrinking the polar bears thinking is it me or just hotter than hell
We'll pump West Texas dry there ain't a cloud in the sky but when it rains around here it pours
Would it be wrong if we all got along but nobody likes know one no more

Fighting for something
Something know one can see
To be on par with the Jones through the first stone at who don't agree
And I'm striving for something
Just trying to be
Ahead of the curve ball closed out by last call
Just happy to be

Now my sink is on fire
They say I'm a liar and its been that way all along
They said it ain't nothing new and it's got nothing to do with the drilling that's going on
And the ground starts to shake but that ain't no quake
It's some fracking down below
And my creek has gone dry no one tells me why that the clean mountain water don't flow

Fighting for something
Something know one can see
To be on par with the Jones through the first stone at who don't agree
And I'm striving for something
Just trying to be
Ahead of the curve ball closed out by last call
Just happy to be

Now the old EPA says everything's ok but we know that can't be true
Because the sledge pound blew out and we know with no doubt what lead in the water will do
That's the other side of town that's long been run down where hope is so long over due
So much to fear this election year just more preaching that will never come true

Fighting for something
Something know one can see
To be on par with the Jones through the first stone at who don't agree
And I'm striving for something
Just trying to be
Ahead of the curve ball closed out by last call
Just happy to be

Rodney Rice

Rodney Rice knows just how to capture the fleeting glimmers of an emotional moment in life and turn them into songs that evoke our own feelings of despair and hope, loss and love. Rice delivers his lyrics with a knowing nod and wink and a twinkle of the eye to the difficulties we encounter in our daily lives, and creates memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. ... more
