Redneck War Lyrics - Singles - Byzantine

Many a man bear the scars of laboring to pay a toll 

They lie just to exploit our miners and hell bent to export our coal 

Come step into our territory and our laws you shall not adhere 

They're gaining control through the voting and bribery built on your fear 

Lay down the bible and take up the rifle 

Our blood runs thick down the banks of the crooked creek 

These grass roots have all been tilled for generations next in line 

Our heaven will never be filled while death overfloweth the mines 

The backs that break under the strain of burdens brought on by their lives 

Are put out to fend off the rain oppression that cuts like a knife 

Lay down the bible and take up the rifle 

Our blood runs thick down the banks of the crooked creek 

Solo: Tony 

Let's war 

Take up arms for your mother there is nothing to lose 

Around the necks the union symbol hangs like a noose 

It is autumn on the mountain and a Chafin is to fall 

Charged with murderous treason Harding declares martial law 

Solo: OJ 

Lay down the bible and take up the rifle 

Our blood runs thick down the banks of the crooked creek
