R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals.

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 
Cuyahoga, gone 
Cuyahoga 
Cuyahoga, gone
