Текст (слова) песни: Young, Neil - Sun Green

Sun green started makin waves
On the day her grandpa died
Speakin out against anything
Unjust or packed with lies

She chained herself to a statue of an eagle
In the lobby of powerco
And started yellin through a megaphone
"theres corruption on the highest floor"

Suits poured out of elevators "theyre all dirty"
Phoneheads began to speak "you cant trust anybody"
But security couldnt get her down
She was welded to the eagles beak

Sun green leaned into that megaphone
And said, "truth is all i seek"
Security brought in some blowtorches
News cameras recorded the speech

"when the city is plunged into darkness
By an unpredicted rolling blackout
The white house always blames the governor,
Sayin, the solution is to vote him out"

On top of that great bronze eagle
Suns voice was loud and clear
She said, "powerco is workin with the white house
To paralyze our state with fear"

It was a golden moment golden moment
In the history of tv news
No one could explain it
It just got great reviews

"hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too"

The imitators were playin
Down at john lees bar
When sun went down to see em
Someone followed her in a car

So now when she goes dancin
She has to watch her back
The FBI just trashed her room
One of them kicked her cat

The damn thing scratched his leg
And he had to shoot it dead
And leave it lyin in a puddle of blood
At the foot of sun greens bed

"hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too"

John lees was rockin
The imitators drove it home
Sun was dancin up a heatwave
For a while she was all alone...

When up walked a tall stranger
He shadowed her move to move
In perfect unison
A supernatural groove

He took her by the hand
And the room began to spin
He said, "im earth... earth brown
You know the shape im in

Im leavin tonight for alaska
And i want you to come in the spring
And be a goddess in the planet wars
Tryin to save the livin things"

"im ready to go right now,"
Sun green told earth brown
"lets go back to my place,
Pick up my cat and leave this town behind"

Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too

Next day sun green got busted for pot
And it made the headline news
But then the charges all got dropped
And the story got confused

Shed still like to meet julia butterfly
And see what remedy brings
And be a goddess in the planet wars
Tryin to save the livin things

But that might not be easy
Livin on the run
Mother earth has many enemies
Theres much work to be done

"hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too
Hey mr. clean, youre dirty now too"
