The Hatfield's and McCoy's
The Hatfields and McCoys
a bloody feud
Where hell ensued
Lives blown away
Roseanna and Jonse's
Love was stayed
140 years to abate.
They buried in a pact
The seeds of hate
Signed and sealed
The end of war
Took a hundred years and two score
To sign a truce?
If they can do it
So can you
Lay down the knives that
Bury you
Of gangs that rip and rape and tear
The clanging gates
The screams of fear.
What point was ultimately made?
When the currency was in lives paid
