lirik lagu the dam – david rovics

(verse 1)
beside a volcano and the rising ash
a crystal river rushing past
a crystal river flowing free
now again like it used to be
since now the dam is out of sight
blown apart by dynamite
blown apart by everyone
in the land of the midnight sun

(verse 2)
a hundred farmers the next day
called the cops so they could say
if you’re looking for one to blame
a hundred farmers gave their names
gave their names, said it was i
who couldn’t just stand idly by
we all knew that sometimes
you must commit a crime

–three, two–

(chorus)
there was a blast, a booming sound
and the dam came crashing down

(verse 3)
in reykjavik, voices shrill said the dam should be bigger still
by the laxa riverside a hundred farms would be washed aside
legal efforts and protests failed
but they still had air behind their sails
they had air and dynamite
so they gathered round there late one night

–three, two–

(chorus)
there was a blast, a booming sound
and the dam came crashing down

(verse 4)
prosecutors tried to choose
which farmers had lit the fuse
but not a one would tell the tale
and not one farmer went to jail
the dam was never built again
and many still remember when
by the laxa river they set things right
with a couple sticks of dynamite

–three, two–

(chorus x2)
there was a blast, a booming sound
and the dam came crashing down
