Mia Songtext
von 1876

Mia grew up at the end of a dirt road
She has a dog on a chain on the side of her double wide home
When she wears her crooked smile
Her eyes will hide behind the dark and fine hair
That graced her face of youth

Mia grew up at the end of a dirt road
There′s a camp near her town full of men who are mining for coal
When she walks from school to home
Grown men will follow, whistle and insult
The skin that graced her face of youth


Mia woke up at the end of a dirt road
Grown men watched from a truck on the side of her double wide home
So now when she walks from school to home
She takes her dog so she is not alone
To try and save her grace and youth

A body washed up in a lake near a dirt road
She has bruises around her throat, her clothes are torn
A dog lays on its side, its feet are bound and tied
With bullets in each eye
The feds called it suicide

They said, "Mia was depressed
She had a sickness in her head"
They blamed the death on her instead of them
And now the girls in town are scared
As one by one they disappear
While the country blinds its eyes to genocide


Mia was nine years old
Mia was nine years old
Mia was nine years old
Mia was nine years old
