Diamonds in the coal
The badlessFrom a part of pennsylvania even jesus couldnt save
With towns named after indian chiefs and union army generals
Its nowhere in particular but everywhere in general
History says americans, we have the right to choose
But they never mention those of us whose opinions arent used
Well, the big flood came in 72 and tore the railroad bridges down
Washed away our only means of getting shipments out of town
And the government wont subsidize rebuilding the central line
So theres barroom fights and anthracite and loads of extra time
History says americans, we have the right to choose
But they never mention those of us whose opinions arent used
Chorus
Theres diamonds in the coal everybody ignores
A man never finds what he aint looking for
A tree only grows if you nurture the seed
Theres too many gems this world doesnt need
The people left like rainwater flowing through an open drain
But here I sit too proud to admit and too damn old to change
Now, the monuments at gettysburg keep the tourists going there
But we died too slow and quietly for anyone to care
History says americans, we have the right to choose
But they never mention those of us whose opinions arent used
Chorus
