Appalachian Scream

We live for the mountains
Ђ™cause the mountains give us life
But the pits were too inviting
And they stripped away our lives
If I could holler from this hollow
For just a little help
IЂ™m sure the neighbors would come running
Just to see for them selves
And I donЂ™t give a damn
If you donЂ™t understand
Cause I hear the voices calling
TheyЂ™re sending me a warning about you
Is it a haunting song from a familiar dream
Or just an appalachian scream
WeЂ™re neighbors weЂ™re not friends
I donЂ™t trust them a bit
Call it baseless paranoia
Or the way that we live
WeЂ™re all escaping something
But weЂ™re blind to what it is
If IЂ™d turn my back heЂ™d kill me
And IЂ™d do the same to him
And I donЂ™t give a damn
If you donЂ™t understand
I built this shit from nothing
I brought it up with love
Considering what I got now
ItЂ™s still not very much
After 20 years timeЂ™s forgotten me
And I wish it all the same
But theyЂ™re knocking at my neighborsЂ™ door
And soon theyЂ™ll call my name
