Lyrics
My family has fished this bay for seven generations
This place belongs to all of us, not some corporation
Sometimes we fish for herring, sometimes we fish for salmon
Whoever comes to poison that, we'll take 'em on, goddamn 'em
Boats come in, the boats go out
Been this way forever
Break of dawn, midnight, sundown
On the river
We've survived the winter storms, seen the summer lightning
If this time we're going down, you know we'll go down fighting
So if you're a politician, you'd better read the census
You need to make your mind up now, are you with us or against us?
Boats come in, the boats go out
Been this way forever
Break of dawn, midnight, sundown
On the river
The man from the corporation says he's gonna make us rich
One thing we don't need around here is a lying son of a bitch
So if you can tell a crooked deal, if you can smell disaster
Tell these corporations get the hell out of Alaska
Boats come in, the boats go out
Been this way forever
Break of dawn, midnight, sundown
On the river
Boats come in, the boats go out
Been this way forever
Break of dawn, midnight, sundown
On the river
