[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
Up 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

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
Rewrite the book and rule the pages
Saving face, secured in faith
Bury, burn the waste behind you
[Verse 4]
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
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
Cuyahoga
Cuyahoga, gone
