This song is for the rats |
|
Who hurled themselves into the ocean |
|
When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold |
|
Were just about to blow |
|
This song is for the soil |
|
That's toxic clear down to the bedrock |
|
Where no thing of consequence can grow |
|
Drop your seeds there, let them go |
|
Let them all go |
|
Let 'em all go |
|
This song is for the people |
|
Who tell their families that they're sorry |
|
For things they can't |
|
And won't feel sorry for |
|
And once there was a desk |
|
And now it's in a storage locker somewhere |
|
And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons |
|
I left in the top drawer |
|
Let 'em all go |
|
Let 'em all go |
|
I wanna sing one for the cars |
|
That are right now headed silent down the highway |
|
And it's dark and there is nobody driving |
|
And something has got to give |
|
I saw you waiting by the roadside |
|
You didn't know that I was watching |
|
Now you know |
|
Let it all go |
|
Let 'em all go |
|
Let it all go |
