Sharpshooter

 

____________(Song Lyrics)____________

All of my life I’ve tried to understand
How one can twist so much money from the land
And I have wondered where their heart lies
And I have wondered where their heart lies

There once was an orchard not far from here
A place I used to love, and a place I never feared
Now it’s gone, these buildings just appeared
Now the orchard’s gone and these buildings just appeared

Took me a chance to see over the ridge
Seen an old canyon with a brand new bridge
Them trucks I have seen with them grapes in the back
Them trucks I have seen with them grapes in the back

I’ve seen it all goin’ down
I’ve seen them out there tearin’ up the ground

Money in the land’s runnin’ rampant on the range
Seen them grapes and buildings lookin’ so strange
Wish my fist would uncurl from within
I wish my fist would uncurl from within

I’ve heard that sharpshooter’s got a wicked eye
But is it as wicked as the pesticides
Is there any way for me to take sides
Could it be too late for me to take sides

Now that the oaks are falling to the ground
How much longer will the Redwoods be around
If only I had the strength to change
If only we had the strength to change

I’ve seen it all goin’ down
I’ve seen them out there tearin’ up the ground
