lyrics

1925

Calvin Coolidge took the oath today
Gonna make us strong
And show us the way back home

A tornado rolled over 3 state lines
Took the lives of 695
From their homes

And in the hillside
Many men died
On a doomed train ride
When the tunnel took ‘em home
No one alive
Back in ’25
You can’t survive
When the ground rumbles and rolls

Great Gatsby and the Gypsy Queen
Everybody’s talkin’ about ‘em and their scene
And the Giants ruled

The judge threw a fine at John T Scopes
For talking ‘bout monkeys instead of the Pope
In high school

Freight trains and bi-wing planes
Steam ships and Chevrolets chart our way
And off we go

George B Shaw won thew Nobel Prize
And BB King came alive
Under a bad sign

The Charleston swing
Wing-walkers on the wing
Rudy Vallée sings
1925

And in the hillside
Many men died
On a doomed train ride
When the tunnel took ‘em home
No one alive
Back in ’25
You can’t survive
When the ground rumbles and rolls
