lyrics

New York City man
came along
tried to take our land
New York City man
Came along
Tried to tie our hands
But he fell down inside
What some lands will hide
He didn't know
He was on his last ride

At Quicksand Farm
There's gold in the barn
And these lands have ways
to keep it from harm
It always knows
What's in a man's soul
And if it ain't right
He goes down in the hole
Some people arrive
They've never been told
Quicksand Farm can never be sold

We tried to help him
We threw him a rope
But he was sinking so fast
That there was no hope
And the quicker they sink
The quicker we know
That they were as slick
As the sand in the hole

I've always lived here
I still wonder why
Some men will go
And others just try
And the harder they try
The harder they die
Sinking right in to the pit of its eye.

But this land is right
and it always sees
those who would take
from others in need
It always knows which ones to feed
This land is growing the best of the seed.
And though it's been tangled in many a weed
This land is where we'll always be freed

At Quicksand Farm, there's gold in the barn
And this land has ways to keep it from harm
It always knows what's in a man's soul
And if it ain't right
And if it ain't right
He goes down in the hole.
