Diamonds in the Coal Lyrics Artist(Band):The Badlees
From a part of Pennsylvania even Jesus couldn't save With towns named after Indian chiefs and Union Army generals It's nowhere in particular but everywhere in general History says Americans, we have the right to choose But they never mention those of us whose opinions aren't used Well, the big flood came in '72 and tore the railroad bridges down Washed away our only means of getting shipments out of town And the government won't subsidize rebuilding the Central Line So there's barroom fights and anthracite and loads of extra time History says Americans, we have the right to choose But they never mention those of us whose opinions aren't used CHORUS There's diamonds in the coal everybody ignores A man never finds what he ain't looking for A tree only grows if you nurture the seed There's too many gems this world doesn't need The people left like rainwater flowing through an open drain But here I sit too proud to admit and too damn old to change Now, the monuments at Gettysburg keep the tourists going there But we died too slow and quietly for anyone to care History says Americans, we have the right to choose But they never mention those of us whose opinions aren't used CHORUS If you find some error in Diamonds in the Coal Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?
