Song Title: Coal War
Artist: Joshua James
Album: Build Me This


I ain't cutting my hair 'til the good lord comes
ain't cutting my hair 'til the good lord comes
ain't cutting my hair 'til the good lord comes
arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done
I ain't cutting my hair, cutting 'til the good lord comes

I ain't open my eyes 'til we all walk free
I ain't open my eyes 'til we all walk free
I ain't open my eyes 'til we all walk free
'til the color of our skin it don't mean a damn thing
I ain't open my eyes, open 'til we all walk free

I ain't pickin' up the paper 'til the wild wind blows
I ain't pickin' up the paper 'til the wild wind blows
I ain't pickin' up the paper 'til the wild wind blows
'til we say what we should say, 'til we know what we should know
I ain't pickin' up the paper, pickin' 'til the wild wind blows

'Cause it's a coal, it's a coal war
It's a coal, coal, it's a coal war

I ain't cutting my hair 'til the good lord comes
arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done
I ain't cutting my hair, cutting 'til the good lord comes
'til the good lord comes

'Cause it's a coal, it's a coal war
It's a coal, coal, coal...

If we don't walk free with hand in heart, it's time
If we cannot see all we destroy, we're blind
It's not the hand that cuts, it's the heart we left behind
It's not the hand that cuts, it's the hatred deep inside
It's not the hand that cuts, it's the hatred deep inside
It's not the hand, not the hand

Five dollars and a head to keep,
with dull black scissors and some kerosene;
you burnt the house, but you came to bid him well
what a thing to tell: "Put poison in the well."
Just to say, just to say, just to say, just to say...

I ain't cutting my hair 'til the good lord comes
ain't cutting my hair 'til the good lord comes
I ain't cutting my hair 'til the good lord comes
arrive upon the mountain just to see what we have done
I ain't cutting my hair, cutting 'til the good lord comes
'til the good lord comes
