R.E.M. - Cuyahoga [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't like
Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red

[Chorus]
This is where we walked
This is where we swam
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir

[Verse 2]
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed

[Chorus]
This is where we walked
This is where we swam
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

[Bridge]
Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
Up underneath the river bed we'll burn the river down

[Chorus]
This is where they walked, swam
Hunted, danced and sang
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone

[Verse 3]
Rewrite the book and rule the pages
Saving face, secured in faith
Bury, burn the waste behind you
This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
We are not your allies, we cannot defend

[Chorus]
This is where they walked
This is where they swam
Take a picture here
Take a souvenir

[Outro]
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone [x2]
