I finally learned that the marketand's righteous holler
comes from a pale face on a paper dollar
and i betcha got few bucks in your hemp wallet
so throw a tiny wrench in the fiber optic wires
morals are cheap and you can be the buyers
we can let and'em poison and perish foreign lands
or we can play the greed right into our hands
Everybody says it canand't happen here
everybody says it canand't happen here
thingsand'll turn around just as sure as they said it
hell, things change and they all take credit
So ask why thereand's only forty songs on a station
and ask your cafe about their coffeeand's plantation
and why is it arizona hasnand't gone solar?
and tell your print shop that hemp grows faster
and it doesnand't mean a back room clear cut disaster
the market doesnand't care but it wants to understand
and you can play the greed right into your hands
Smiling man says it canand't happen here
channel 4 says it canand't happen here
thingsand'll turn around just as sure as they said it
hell, the change comes and they all take credit
So roll up your pennies and do your battle
the chairman will start quoting chief seattle and
put little tree frogs on their letterhead
and'cause the market resists and the market absorbs
with a five-pointed leaf on the cover of forbes
the very same people turned valleys to dams
these are the ones that drain prairies to sand
and theyand'd just as soon you didnand't know this land is your land
but we can play the world back into our hands
Malcomand's gonna say it canand't happen here
rupertand's gonna say it canand't happen here
thingsand'll turn around just as sure as they said it
hell, things change and theyand'll always take the credit
Hell the change comes
letand's let and'em take the credit...
