Nick Shoulders - Wont Fence Us In Lyrics

Won’t Fence Us In Song Lyrics
Won’t Fence Us In by Nick Shoulders [Verse 1]
There once was land endless land
Under starry skies above
But they fenced it in
Now it's interstates and interchanges
Monocrop and truckstops
‘Cause they fenced it in
I wish that every golf course became a WMA
And every politician knew the rent that we paid
Just to drink ourselves to death
And go to jobs that we hate
Oh, to be fenced in

[Verse 2]
Turn us loose and let us rattle off our chains
And lift the pain from our faces
And every hour on the clock or in a classroom
Or a cell could not contain us
I just don’t see any glory in industrial cattle
And truckers’ bodies twist from a life in the saddle
Is it freedom ringing in your ear or just a death rattle?
You won’t fence us in

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I wish ancestral lands belonged to indigenous people
And I didn’t have to live in fear of law from the steeple
Does grievance make you strong?
Or is it what makes you feeble?
You won’t fence us in, though you might try
You won’t fence us in, ain't you listenin'?
You won’t fence us in
