lyrics

They're taking from the churches,
all across the nation.
They're taking from the schools,
and the power sub-stations.
They take it from the streets,
they take it from a.c.
When they're done taking yours,
They'll take it from me.

Lost in the wilderness in the city,
can't get your wings under control!
Can't get back those things you stole!

Scrap Traders, do me no favors,
you're taking down society!
Scrap Traders, do me no favors,
you're taking down the country!

They're climbing to the top of the AT&T Towers,
prying off the lights,
even if it takes them hours.
Packing their pipes,
with the profit on the lights,
stealing all the metal in sight.

Lost in the wilderness in the city,
can't get your wings under control!
Can't get back those things you stole!

Scrap Traders, do me no favors,
you're taking down society!
Scrap Traders, do me no favors,
you're taking down the country!

They take it from computers,
and from televisions.
They take it from the gaslights,
from the furnace to the kitchen.
They're taking all the scraps,
from everything they see.
When they're done taking yours,
They'll take it from me.

Lost in the wilderness in the city,
can't get your wings under control!
Can't get back those things you stole!

Scrap Traders, do me no favors,
you're taking down society!
Scrap Traders, do me no favors,
you're taking down the country!

Scrap Traders!
Scrap Traders!
Scrap Traders!
Scrap Traders!

about

The Darkhearts Cincinnati, Ohio

The Darkhearts take their songwriting cues from Thelonius Monk quotes, books of voodoo and news of the weird. They perform dynamic original songs about odd things. Copper thieves, fireworks superstore explosions, invaders from space, Stella Maris, failure of luck, halos, maniacs, and bad voltage are all addressed. This band of seasoned songwriting fanatics is dedicated to a collaborative mindset. ... more
