David Rovics - Song For The ELF lyrics

Civil disobedience Has many permutations You can block the streets in front of The United Nations You can lay down on the tracks Keep the nuke trains out of town Or you can pour gas on the condo And you can burn it down So here's a toast to the night Three cheers and a grunt Hey, hey, hey. Unh! To the Earth Liberation Front The Earth Liberation Front You can go to Senate hearings Wait till they call your name My hat is off to anyone With the will to play that game But if you want to know the truth What warms my aching heart Is to see the masked avengers Come to tear the road apart So here's a toast to the night Three cheers and a grunt Hey, hey, hey Unh! To the Earth Liberation Front The Earth Liberation Front Well, they'll tell you that it's violence To destroy a logging truck These are the very people Who'd k** the planet for a buck They'll tell you to talk And be reasonable, they'll say Maybe we can talk tomorrow But we can pull the GM crops today So here's a toast to the night Three cheers and a grunt Hey, hey, hey Unh! To the Earth Liberation Front The Earth Liberation Front There are so many things of beauty In this world to see A wild, running river Or an old-growth redwood tree But in such an ugly situation So sinister and dire There's nothing quite so lovely As a Wal-Mart on fire So here's a toast to the night Three cheers and a grunt Hey, hey, hey Unh! To the Earth Liberation Front The Earth Liberation Front Here's a toast to the night Three cheers and a grunt Hey, hey, hey Unh! To the Earth Liberation Front The Earth Liberation Front
