Song by The Mountain Goats<br /><br>
The Mountain Goats - Cotton<br>
<br>
This song is for the rats<br>
Who hurled themselves into the ocean<br>
When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold<br>
Were just about to blow<br>
<br>
This song is for the soil<br>
That's toxic clear down to the bedrock<br>
Where no thing of consequence can grow<br>
Drop your seeds there, let them go<br>
Let them go<br>
<br>
Let them all go<br>
Let 'em all go<br>
<br>
This song is for the people<br>
Who tell their families that they're sorry<br>
For things they can't and won't feel sorry for<br>
<br>
And once there was a desk<br>
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere<br>
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons<br>
I left in the top drawer<br>
<br>
Let 'em all go<br>
Let 'em all go<br>
<br>
I wanna sing one for the cars<br>
That are right now headed silent down the highway<br>
And it's dark and there is nobody driving<br>
And something has got to give<br>
<br>
I saw you waiting by the roadside<br>
You didn't know that I was watching<br>
Now you know<br>
Let it all go<br>
<br>
Let 'em all go<br>
Let it all go<br>
 <br>
