Jonah Tolchin - Wrong Side of the Wire lyrics

rate me

Both sides of the power-line

two reasons, ways, still same kinds

old and young and rich and poor

farming folks vs. business whores

They'd sell the land underneath your feet

let you vanish to the driest creek

they don't have a clue that the food they eat

comes from the other side of the wires reach

Chorus:

So spray the skies till darkness falls

CEO's count the sheep behind their walls

no lights go out but the sun

on the Wrong Side of the Wire just a battle won

Critter on the line just having fun

poison sprayers call out boys load your guns

fire the cannons bomb the beast

might cut the power on the man's T.V

Farmers sit on the back-porch crying

waters been poisoned crops are dying

winters coming stomachs ache

when they ask why heads just shake

Chorus

Winters come and on the other side

rich mans hungry don't know why

calls his slaves to bring some more

when he heard why dropped to the floor

Stores all empty like an old ghost town

folks are starving the whole world round

the farmers land has been raped

now that you understand you’re much too late

Chorus +: On the wrong side of the wire just a battle won x3
