Redneck War lyrics

Many a man bear the scars of laboring to pay a toll 
They lie just to exploit our miners and hell bent to export our coal 
Come step into our territory and our laws you shall not adhere 
They're gaining control through the voting and bribery built on your fear 

Lay down the bible and take up the rifle 
Our blood runs thick down the banks of the crooked creek 

These grass roots have all been tilled for generations next in line 
Our heaven will never be filled while death overfloweth the mines 
The backs that break under the strain of burdens brought on by their lives 
Are put out to fend off the rain oppression that cuts like a knife 

Lay down the bible and take up the rifle 
Our blood runs thick down the banks of the crooked creek 

[Solo: Tony] 

Let's war 

Take up arms for your mother there is nothing to lose 
Around the necks the union symbol hangs like a noose 

It is autumn on the mountain and a Chafin is to fall 
Charged with murderous treason Harding declares martial law 

[Solo: OJ] 

Lay down the bible and take up the rifle 
Our blood runs thick down the banks of the crooked creek
