Protests in New York

Listen to the call of the wild

Brother, sisters carrying signs

Breathe deep before it's too late

The sky is falling burning your eyes

Down in New Orleans

River's boiling, nothing living, nothing to eat

Thank the Lord, Daddy's working 8-5

Paying the doctor, baby's got cancer



CHORUS

Give and take

Has all we've learned been wrong?

Look around at what we've been given

Maybe we've taken too long

Resistance-shouts the man on the right

Can't solve the problem overnight

Ristance-listen to the call of the wild



Burning coal

Got to keep the company warm as the rain keeps killing the trees

Cut 'em down quick

Pay the man his wage, he's making paper

To fuel the "information age"

Out in the Midwest, hear the roar of the plough

Turning grassland into sand

got to feed the people more everyday

But the wind keeps blowing the land away



CHORUS



Resistance-liberal opposition crying violation

Stop the madness

Resistance-through the din, one voice we should hear

Resistance-listen to the call of the wild



There's no easy solution

The price is high, and it's time to pay

Turn of the century vision, focused on a better way



CHORUS
