*A rubaiyat on the Ohio fracking boom, the looming 2016 Republican National Convention, and the Return of Lebron* or *Akron War Chant*
It all started here at the top of the heap
The salt and the clear at the top of the sea
We promised the wailers we'd turn it around
We promised a cure by the time of the meek
Paved roads police codes the struggle for pay
We made those beliefs and we came here to say
Now you can't have it we'll burn it all down
Before we see all of it taken away
We come from the sky and we come from the earth
We come from the drive and we come from the hearth
We'll give it our lives the boys from the hills
We know what is real and we know what it's worth
We're getting the lot of it speaking at last
Checking the knot and releasing it fast
We started our lives on the bad side of town
Checked in the spot and decreed free at last
It all started here at the top of the heap
The salt and the clear at the top of the sea
We promised the wailers we'd turn it around
We promised a cure by the time of the meek
Paved roads police codes the struggle for pay
We made those beliefs and we came here to say
Now you can't have it we'll burn it all down
Before we see all of it taken away
We come from the sky and we come from the earth
We come from the drive and we come from the hearth
We'll give it our lives the boys from the hills
We know what is real and we know what it's worth
We're getting the lot of it speaking at last
Checking the knot and releasing it fast
We started our lives on the bad side of town
Checked in the spot and decreed free at last
