Beyond the Towering Stacks; New Song for Bruno

Woody taught the people to dream
People working their own factories
Smoke means baloney, it'll set you free

So people hoping its coming back
Pine for smoke in the towering stacks
Billowing smoke from towering stacks

Woody never dreamed that smoke would land
Suffocate the people, enslave the land
Creep in the babes born in our hands

Time to sing a new folk song
Time to wake up hear the gong
Come Woody's spirit lead the throng

Reck belong to this old working town
New babes coming folks long gone
New land coming, the land long gone

Some folks thinking I'm just a clown
Raising sand about the way were grown
Others just fear I'll steal their ground

So they cut me off the radio
To keep the natural ratio
Keep the old song sung mono

Arrest me, arrest me, beat me down
Kill the madman and the seeds he's sown
Ha! more madmen coming to town

Drag me down to the tar ponds
Dunk my head but I won't drown
The toxics will kill this sane mad-clown
