A

Well, I'm looking out my window and I'm repulsed by what I see.

A

Looking out my window and I'm sick and tired of what I see.

A

I see the earth spin devastating by many women that look just like me.

A

I've gone and told the city council that these shingles got.

A

I've gone and told the city council and now there's nothing. I can do.

A

Sit around with friends and neighbors and sing the shingle mountain.

A

Blues you know I get my drinking water, it's coming from the trinity.

A

But it's polluted by the garbage of many people, just like me.

A

Yes, it's sad, but true, I've got the shingle mountain blue.

A

I think the earth has been forsaken and I've been forsaken too.

A

Yes, I said that the earth's been devastated.

A

Our family's devastated too.

A

And now me and marcia jack we've got the shingle mountain blues.
