The Bilk Run Songtext
von Leslie Fish

Ain′t no horse can't be rode
Ain′t no rider can't be throwed
Ain't no song can′t be filked
Ain′t no gover'ment can′t be bilked

You're a miner, I′m a rancher, she's a farmer
Let′s make a deal
Slap our brand on a good cheap planetoid and
Make ourselves an estate that's real

'Cause there ain′t no horse can′t be rode
Ain't no rider can′t be throwed
Ain't no song can′t be filked
And there ain't no gover′ment can't be bilked

You dig minerals, you seed algae
Make those suckers breed like sin
I'll take out the ship and tanker
Find some water and haul it in


Now there ain′t no horse can′t be rode
Ain't no rider can′t be throwed
Ain't no song can′t be filked
Ain't no gover′ment can't be bilked

Sell them minerals, grow that atmosphere
Now plant grass and bring in the stock
Make ourselves look big on the Internet
Till they think we're a voting bloc

And there ain′t no horse can′t be rode
Ain't no rider can′t be throwed
Ain't no song can′t be filked
Ain't no gover′ment can't be bilked

When we're selling steel to everyone
Food to everyone, we′ll look grand
Some fool gover′ment will get nervous
Come and offer to buy our land

Well there ain't no horse can′t be rode
Ain't no rider can′t be throwed
Ain't no song can′t be filked
And there ain't no gover'ment can′t be bilked


Take the deals, take the money and run
Hunt a planetoid, start once more
Three times over, we′ll all be billionaires
Yes, we've played this game before

And there ain′t no horse can't be rode
Ain′t no rider can't be throwed
Ain′t no song can't be filked
Ain't no gover′ment can′t be bilked
