Keep Your Dirty Lights On

Well my daddy came from coal dust

And me, I'm 'bout the same

If you've read Kinko's ledger book

Then you've seen my family name

It used to take a camp of miners

To load their train and gone

Now there's four in my crew

And we do what we do

To keep your dirty lights on

Keep your dirty lights on

Keep your dirty lights on

If you got money in your pocket

And a switch on the wall

Keep your dirty lights on

Well daddy worked in darkness

And me in broad daylight

I'd blow a hole, seem like daddy never dreamed

Using Nobel's dynamite

As long as there's coal in them mountains

We're gonna burn it up 'til it's gone

Well we can't stop blowing mountain tops

We gotta keep your dirty lights on

Keep your dirty lights on

Keep your dirty lights on

If you got money in your pocket

And a switch on the wall

Keep your dirty lights on

Every time they have elections

They talk how coal is clean

Well coal is cheap but coal's still black

It ain't never turning green

So plug your electric car in

Charge it good and strong

And do your shopping online

We'll get you every time

Just to keep your dirty lights on

Keep your dirty lights on

Keep your dirty lights on

If you got money in your pocket

And a switch on the wall

Keep your dirty lights on

Keep your dirty lights on

Keep your dirty lights on

If you got money in your pocket

And a switch on the wall

We'll keep your dirty lights on

Keep 'em on
