Not the 60s Woodstock, but the one much later on
Let the poisoned fledglings come and gather in the dawn
Behold the heavy century buckling with the strain
Young man with a microphone hollering cocaine
Major label contract
Stoned out of his mind
Pants cuffed by Levi Strauss
Full mouth of teeth to grind
Wasn't there a mighty flood
Yes, didn't it rain?
Stand before the people
Yell about cocaine
Cocaine
Yell about cocaine
Stand before the people
Yell about cocain?
Let the party peopl? come to feel my aimless wrath
Salt the Earth behind me as I wander down the path
No light but the spent light
Just the lab assistant's brain
To lie beneath the lightning
And yell about cocaine
Full phalanx of cameramen to document the scene
See the mass of starling throbbing forward on the green
I've heard it said, "It's hard to tell when all your love's in vain"
Shirtless before God
Yell about cocaine
Cocaine
Yell about cocaine
Shirtless before God
Yell about cocaine
The lyrics WOODSTOCK of THE MOUNTAIN GOATS is also present in the album Days (2026)
The Mountain Goats sono un gruppo musicale folk rock statunitense formatosi nel 1991 a Claremont, California, dal cantautore e polistrumentista John Darnielle. Il nome del gruppo deriva da una canzone di Screamin' Jay Hawkins intitolata "Big Yellow Coat". Per gran parte della sua storia, Darnielle è stato l'unico membro stabile dei The Mountain Goats, collaborando con un variegato gruppo di musicisti in studio e durante i concerti. Tra questi figurano il bassista Peter Hughes, il batterista Jon Wurster, il cantautore Franklin Bruno, la bassista e cantante Rachel Ware, il cantautore John Vanderslice, la chitarrista Kaki King e Annie Clark (St. Vincent). La musica dei The Mountain Goats è caratterizzata da testi introspettivi e poetici, spesso incentrati su temi di amore, perdita, isolamento e spiritualità. Le melodie sono semplici ma efficaci, con un forte accento sul canto di Darnielle, che possiede una voce unica e riconoscibile. Tra i brani più rappresentativi del gruppo si ricordano "This Year", "No Children", "The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton" e "Up the Wolves".

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
