TVA Eminent Domain Abuse

I don't want your fucking money.
I don't need your fucking plans.
So roll back up your blueprints
And get the fuck off of my land!
Cause I was born upon this homestead
Like my family was before
So take your suitcase full of money
And get the fuck out my front door!
Cause my family's seen some hard times
But my family always tried.
We don't need your hand-outs
My family will survive.
So tell me how you sleep at night?
Is the good pay worth the shame?
You take 15,000 homes
Claiming eminent domain.
I didn't take a goddamn thing from you
For my whole life, till now.
I worked hard for everything I got
I made it through somehow...
And you come traveling down
To flood my homeland with your damn -
Well didn't you hear mister
The Tennessee Valley's Not for Sale!
They wanna flood the Martin Basin
They wanna move out all our kin
They're gonna dig up all our graveyards
Our family's buried in
Well we're two different people
You could never understand
I've lived my whole life on this mountain
I'd rather die than leave my land!!
I didn't take a goddamn thing from you
For my whole life, till now.
I worked hard for everything I got
I made it through somehow...
And you come traveling down
To flood my homeland with your damn -
Well you'll have to kill me mister
Cause The Tennessee Valley's Not for Sale!
