Courthouse Bomb

from Headed Nowhere, Fast by Holland's Bones

/

lyrics

Goin' home where singin' always seemed so wrong. The monument around the corner has pressure flaked cracks in its marble walls set in place by Henry Miller who in 1954 when it was just built had a case in this courthouse with the oil field company. They refused to pay his workers compensation and through his frustration he would build a bomb. Nobody knows what went wrong maybe he did it to get back at the judges and cops who would lend support to the companies side allowin' them to hang'em out to dry, to die.

I've had this feelin' so damn long, that's the reason I'm singin' this song. They're tryin' to maintain the illusion that nothings wrong but it's hard to hide our history from us when the truth is lurking like a bomb. like a bomb.
