《The Humboldt Desert》歌词

[00:00:00] The Humboldt Desert - X-tal

[00:00:31] When the last tree falls in California

[00:00:35] Will anyone hear it crash

[00:00:40] Or will it be drowned out by the registers

[00:00:43] Ringing up that cold hard cash

[00:00:48] Clear cut an entire redwood forest

[00:00:51] To pay off your old junk bond debts

[00:00:57] A fantasy-based economy

[00:01:00] Makes you foul your mama's nest

[00:01:19] Another family for the timber industry

[00:01:23] The signs on the houses read

[00:01:28] You just don't know how utterly moved I am

[00:01:31] By your well-planned lives and your needs

[00:01:36] Man your boss is in a frenzy

[00:01:38] He acts like a man on a terminal coc*ine run

[00:01:45] So what exactly do you plan to do for a living

[00:01:48] When your renewable resources gone

[00:02:07] Oh pity the poor buffalo hunter

[00:02:11] Who just can't hunt no more

[00:02:16] Oh pity the poor whaler

[00:02:19] Deprived of his rightful public support

[00:02:25] And pity the poor logger of the future

[00:02:28] With nothing left top cut down

[00:02:33] Sawing telephone poles with a chainsaw

[00:02:36] While the timber company clears out of town

[00:02:39] Bye bye next stop Siberia

[00:02:56] Oh the Humboldt Desert will be a wonder

[00:02:59] The tourists will come to stare

[00:03:04] You'd think they might have spared

[00:03:06] Just a couple of the big ones

[00:03:08] But no they didn't really care

[00:03:13] But it's all right we've planned for the future

[00:03:16] The redwoods will grow back eventually

[00:03:22] We're all gearing up for a big logging boom

[00:03:25] In the thirtieth century

[00:03:28] Chop it Chop it good
