No Hard Feelings - Ry Cooder

This land should have been om land

You took it for your land

You got a use for every stream and tree

When I go up the highway old trees are dying up that way

You pump out the water and sell it back to me

You build mansions in the city prisons in Mojave

Bet you’re quite a pillar of high society

You call it law and order I call it dirty money

You lock the young ones down or send 'em off to war

No hard feelings no offense taken

You’re just a ripple in the shifting sands of time

No bad karma no curses on ya

You go your way I’ll go mine

You remind me of a fellow I heard of in the city

Nervous kind of fellow he loved money like you do

He derived no satisfaction so he jumped clear out the window

They tell me that he bounced a time or two

So take in mind the credo of a jackass prospector

Take what you need but please leave the rest alone

Try and live harmony with old Mother Nature

You’ll remain in grace after you have gone

Don’t get many callers that little road leads nowhere

Been here 40 years seems like yesterday

There’s an aId screech owl living in my chimney

I don 't build no fires he keeps the mice away

No hard feelings na offense taken

You’re just a murmur in the whispering sands of time

No bad karma na curses on ya

You go your way I’ll go mine
