lyrics

Citizens of the town,
Will you let them ride roughshod unanswered?
Heed now the call over dieseling tractors you better,
You better stand,
Stand and be counted,
While you can,

Man up or shut up,
Turn off your own noise and just listen.
To the hawk that’s keening, the coyote’s bark, and
Your eyes, fixed on the ground and
In the town, nary a one,
Who’d protest what’s been done.

The ridge line so green in the winter,
It’s now all but gone.
Shorn off to make room for outrageous homes,
Worth millions.
They’re nearly done.
Gone are the orchards.
They’re nearly done,
The creeks all culverted.

Citizens of the town,
Will you let them ride roughshod unanswered?
Pull up the stakes, the flags fly,
And drop down in the breeze.
They’re nearly done.
Gone are the orchards.
They’re nearly done.
The creeks all culverted.

They’re nearly done.
