Let's put our heads together and start a new country up
   Our father's father's father tried, erased the parts he didn't like
   Let's try to fill it in, bank the quarry river, swim
   We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
  
   This is where we walked, this is where we swam
   Take a picture here, take a souvenir
  
   This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
   We knee-skinned it you and me, we knee-skinned that river red
   And we gathered up our friends, bank the quarry river, swim
   We knee-skinned it you and me, underneath the river bed
  
   This is where we walked, this is where we swam
   Take a picture here, take a souvenir
   Cuyahoga
   Cuyahoga, gone
  
   Let's put our heads together, start a new country up,
   Underneath the river bed we burned the river down.
   This is where they walked, swam, hunted, danced and sang,
   Take a picture here, take a souvenir
   Cuyahoga
   Cuyahoga, gone
  
   Rewrite the book and rule the pages, saving face, secured in faith
   Bury, burn the waste behind you
  
   This land is the land of ours, this river runs red over it
   We are not your allies, we can not defend
   This is where they walked, this is where they swam
   Take a picture here, take a souvenir

   Cuyahoga, gone
