Wont Fence Us In

G There once was land endless land Under starry skies above D But they fenced it in Now its interstates and interchanges Monocrop and truckstops G ‘Cause the fenced it in I wish that every golf course became a WMA C Cm And every politician knew the rent that we paid G Just to drink ourselves to death And go to jobs that we hate D G Oh to be fenced in C Turn us loose and let us rattle off our chains G And lift the pain from all our faces C And every hour on the clock or in a classroom G Or a cell could not contain us D G I just don’t see any glory in industrial cattle C And truckers’ bodies twist from a life in the saddle G Is it freedom ringing in your ear or just a death rattle? D G You won’t fence us in G D G C G D G C G C G (Whistling....................) D G I wish ancestral lands belonged to indigenous people C And I didn’t have to live in fear of law from the steeple G Does grievance make you strong? Or is it what makes you feeble? D G D You won’t fence us in, though you might try G You won’t fence us in, ain't you listening? D G C G You won’t fence us in
