about

Based on the traditional folksong, "She'll Be Coming Round The Mountain When She Comes"

lyrics

Chorus:
(Well/and) they'll be tearing down the(se) mountains when they run



They'll be tearing down these mountains when they run




They'll be tearing down these mountains

With their avalanche of shouting

They'll be tearing down these mountains when they run!




1. And If he wins he says he'll make us great again (x2)

Says he'll make us great again

Great for rich white businessmen

If he wins he says he'll make us great again




2. And she'll be slipping and a' sliding when she runs (x2)

She'll be slipping and a' sliding

On that ball of lies she's riding

She'll be slipping and a' sliding when she runs!





Chorus:

(Well/and) they'll be tearing down the(se) mountains when they run




They'll be tearing down these mountains when they run




They'll be tearing down these mountains

With their avalanche of shouting

They'll be tearing down these mountains when they run!




3. He says it wasn't like this in them good old days

Says it wasn't like this in those good old days

In them good old golden days

You got no back talk from the slaves

Says it wasn't like this in them good old days!




4. She says she's fought for peace and freedom all her life (x2)

She's led the fight for peace and freedom

Dropping bombs from here to Eden!

Says she's fought for peace and freedom all her life!








Chorus:

(Well/and) they'll be tearing down the(se) mountains when they run




They'll be tearing down these mountains when they run




They'll be tearing down these mountains

With their avalanche of shouting

They'll be tearing down these mountains when they run!




5. They say they'll stand against the bigots and the banks

They say they'll stand against them bigots and them banks

They'll fight them bigots and them bankers

While their money fuels their tankers gonna stand against the bigots and the bankers!




6. (Instrumental... Maybe sing the chorus again here!? Not sure...)




7. Well the grand finale's near and here they come! (X2)

Yeah the grand finale's nearing

So get ready for the shearing

When you hear them start to sing--

You'd better run!

And when they shake hands and start kissing, we're all done!

It's been fun...
