Sun Green
Lyricist:Neil Young
Sun Green started makin' waves On the day that grandpa died Speakin' out against anything Unjust or packed with lies
She chained herself to a statue of an eagle In the lobby of Power Co. And started yellin' through a megaphone 'There's corruption on the highest floor'
Suits poured out of elevators, 'You're all dirty' Phoneheads began to speak, 'You can't trust anybody' But security couldn't get her down She was welded to the eagle's beak
Sun Green leaned into that megaphone Said, 'Truth is all I seek' Security brought in some blow torches News cameras recorded her speech
'When the city is plunged into darkness By an unpredicted rolling blackout The White House always blames the governor Saying the solution is to vote him out'
On top of that great bronze eagle Sun's voice was loud and clear She said, 'Power Co's workin' with the White House To paralyze our state with fear'
It was a golden moment In the history of TV news No one could explain it It just got great reviews
Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too
The Imitators were playin' Down at Jon Lee's bar When Sun went down to see â€~em Someone followed her in a car
So now, when she goes dancin' She has to watch her back The FBI just trashed her room One of them kicked her cat
Damn thing scratched his leg And he had to shoot it dead And leave it lyin' in a puddle of blood At the foot of Sun Green's bed
Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too
Jon Lee's was rockin' The Imitators drove it home Sun was dancin' up a heat wave For awhile she was all alone
When up walked a tall stranger He shadowed her move to move In perfect unison A supernatural groove
He took her by the hand And the room began to spin He said, 'I'm Earth, Earth Brown You know the shape I'm in'
'I'm leavin' tonight for Alaska And I want you to come in the spring And be a goddess in the planet wars Tryin' to save the living things
'I'm ready to go right now' Sun Green told Earth Brown 'Let's go back to my place Pick up my cat and leave this town behind'
{FBI, goddamn it}
Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too
Next day Sun Green got busted for pot And it made the headline news But then the charges all got dropped And the story got confused
She'd still like to meet Julia Butterfly And see what remedy brings And be a goddess in the planet wars Tryin' to save the living things
But that might not be easy Livin' on the run Mother Earth has many enemies There's much work to be done
Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too
