Re: spangled banners to banned anglers [Re: themilum] #156389 - 12/31/05 03:54 PM
Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died We'll be the lonely one Concrete, plastic human throng Tellin' one another have you heard the news We'll mow it down, we'll rape the ground 'til there's nothing left to abuse The rabbit, he'll be gone The bird will sing no song The wolf, the bear, the lion too The insect far and near, creatures like the deer We'll put in cages a the zoo Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died The stream will all dry out The fish, gone no doubt We'll have no animals to fear The tree will be no more We'll use it to build the store Mountain scene will disappear These changes takin' place Will affect the human race We'll all know it when it's gone God save this planet now We've got to help somehow We've left it happen way too long Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died We'll find the wilderness has died

Chorus: This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway I saw above me an endless skyway I saw below me a golden valley This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling The fog was lifting a voice come chanting This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there And that sign said - no tress passin' But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin! Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office - I see my people And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! We've grown accustomed to your fate. We almost make your life begin. We've grown accustomed to the loons that cackle night and noon. Your bugs, your slugs, Your smells, your sounds Are sacred nature to us now; Like building homes and building inns.
We were serenly independent and content before we met Surely we could always be that way again- And yet We've grown accustomed to the trees; Accustomed to the birds; Protective of their fate.
[Spoken]
"Rape nature?" What an infantile idea. What a heartless, wicked, brainless thing to say. Who but we can protect the animals from the comet. Who but we can protect Earth's wee creatures from the coming age of ice?. Who but we can protect the wee vile creatures from themselves? Mankind-so-kind, that's who, and let's not forget it. [Sung]
But we are a most forgiving kind; The sort who never could, ever would, Take a position and staunchly never budge. A most forgiving kind. But, If the green freaks beg please, And even crawl upon on their knees And promise to atone; Let them shiver, let them moan; We'll slam the door and let the pussycats freeze!
[Spoken]
"Enviornmental kooks!"

Pussycat wasn't a kitten And not as dumb as they thought She had a good head on her shoulders And beauty that couldn't be bought The royalty made her an offer If she'd keep trouble at bay They'd give her the money and diamonds Be queen for a day

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah! A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne 'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own When you've made your mind up forever to be mine I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand I'll pick up your hand And slowly blow your little mind

Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy Sometimes I think the world will never see another man like him.

[SPOKEN] I remember when I was a very little girl, our house caught on fire. I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me up in his arms and raced through the burning building out to the pavement. I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames. And when it was all over I said to myself, 'Is that all there is to a fire'
[SUNG] Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
And when I was 12 years old, my father took me to a circus, the greatest show on earth. There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears. And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads. And so I sat there watching the marvelous spectacle. I had the feeling that something was missing. I don't know what, but when it was over, I said to myself, 'is that all there is to a circus?
Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is
Then I fell in love, head over heels in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world. We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes. We were so very much in love. Then one day he went away and I thought I'd die, but I didn't, and when I didn't I said to myself, 'is that all there is to love?'
Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
I know what you must be saying to yourselves, if that's the way she feels about it why doesn't she just end it all? Oh, no, not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment, for I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you, when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my lst breath, I'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is, is that all there is If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing Let's break out the booze and have a ball If that's all there is

WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom for me and you And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?" They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow They'll learn much more than I'll ever know And I think to myself, what a wonderful world Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear And he shows ’em, pearly white Just a jack knife has Macheath dear And he keeps it way out of sight
When that shark bites with his teeth, dear Scarlet billows begin to spread Fancy gloves though has Macheath dear So there’s never, never a trace of red
Mack the Knife music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Bertolt Brecht

Jumpin' Jack Flash
I was born in a crossfire hurricane And I howled at my ma in the driving rain But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas But it's all right I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas! Gas! Gas!
