You've got a mansion, tall and splendid, You've got your own island in the Caribbean. Got your own hotel and your own airplane But you ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline through this land You got big ideas and a great big paycheck And a closet full of designer suits Custom shoes of Italian leather But you ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline through this land You can send mercenaries with clubs and crowbars Bring big bulldozers and use dynamite Pepper spray us, sic your dogs on us But you ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline through this land You can hide behind the walls of your mansion You can go to church every Sunday morning But your creator sees what you're doing You're trying to lay your pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline through this land You want to pump your poison into our water You want to wreck this sacred burying ground But this piece of earth don't belong to no one And you ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline You ain't laying no pipeline through this land You ain't laying no pipeline through this land
