Intro: And now, a word from the 1% on what’s new and exciting in coal mining!

Behead every mountain

There’s coal in there

Dump it in the valley

We don’t really care

You can scream climate change

Let us know how that goes

Energy from the sun

Really steps on our toes

Lots of air pollution

The water’s full of crap

We privatize the profits

And socialize a trap
We must forever stay rich

So if you all use the wind

For your energy needs

Then we won’t be your friend

The Appalachian Mountains

Must resemble the moon

For us to get our cash out

And it can’t be too soon! [slow]
