B. Talen / C. Gough / N. Luckett [2014]
VERSE ONE
I'm lost because they took the books away
Library trustees took the books away
Those empty shelves -- they shouldn't be that way.
CHORUS
No More [x3]
VERSE TWO
Library trustees, hedge fund billionaires
They have the power and nobody cares
They took the books, the books we used to share.
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE THREE
Mom worked late, and I'd be left alone
So after school, libraries were my home.
I read, I learned: the books took care of me.
I was safe, safe as I could be.
REPEAT CHORUS
I got those can't go home, books are gone blues.
