The Badlees - Appalachian Scream lyrics

(Feltenberger, Yashinsky) We live for the mountains '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 I'm sure the neighbors would come running Just to see for them selves And I don't give a damn If you don't understand (Chorus) Cause I hear the voices calling They're sending me a warning about you Is it a haunting song from a familiar dream Or just an Appalachian scream We're neighbors we're not friends I don't trust them a bit Call it baseless paranoia Or the way that we live We're all escaping something But we're blind to what it is If I'd turn my back he'd k** me And I'd do the same to him And I don't give a damn If you don't understand (Chorus) I built this sh** from nothing I brought it up with love Considering what I got now It's still not very much After 20 years time's forgotten me And I wish it all the same But they're knocking at my neighbors' door And soon they'll call my name (Chorus)
