The Way the West Was Won Lyrics by The Brothers Comatose

City Painted Gold

0

(Chorus)
The way the West was won
Smoking stacks, railroad tracks
And broken backs, and seeds that can't be sown
Violent eyes and troubled times
That told the lives of blood
Upon their hands
(Verse)
The men, they came from far out West
And laid down tracks of steel
Burnin' through the barren lands
On locomotive wheel
Lives were lost and families tossed
A few that burn in fire
Losin' land and dignity
For history's desire
(Chorus)
The way the West was won
Smoking stacks, railroad tracks
And broken backs, and seeds that can't be sown
Violent eyes and troubled times
That told the lives of blood
Upon their hands
(Verse)
The land was bought and sold around
The rightful owner's deed
Strangers take the others for
The consequence of greed
Games were played and patronized
With daggers on their backs
Pryin' on the innocent
With sharpened souls of black
(Chorus)
The way the West was won
Smoking stacks, railroad tracks
And broken backs, and seeds that can't be sown
Violent eyes and troubled times
That told the lives of blood
Upon their hands
The way the West was won
Smoking stacks, railroad tracks
And broken backs, and seeds that can't be sown
Violent eyes and troubled times
That told the lives of blood
Upon their hands
