Orangutans And Elephants

from Hard Sardine by Luke Callen

/

lyrics

Crooked caves of desperate dust the waters former path
It left us here so long ago for Las Vegas and her laugh
Damn all the damns let it flow from your ears and mouth
See the sun on everyone learn how to quit the south

The Forest sat in a foreign flame we welcomed what it brought
But the trees were choked by engineers with some paper that they bought
Let the fire feel the fences one and all
Look upon that setting sun learn how your cages call

And stay if you want to but leave if you can
All we got left just our Mama's land

Orangutans and Elephants the Bison and the Bear
They hang their head in sorrowness fill the ocean up with their tears
A kingdom it's been claimed ore the entire earth
What a sight last rays of light learning just what it's all worth

And stay if you want to but leave if you can
All we got left just our Mama's land

The sky it was a blanket bed so we got to laying down
But the army came and woke us their they were marching outta town
Saying the war it ain't over it's hardly just begun
Turn your eyes to the sunrise learn how to kill someone
Turn your eyes to the sunrise learn how to love someone
