Cotton |
| This song is for the rats |
| Who hurled themselves in to the ocean |
| When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold |
| Were just about to blow |
| This song is for the soil |
| That’s toxic clear down to the bedrock |
| Where no thing of consequence can grow |
| Drop your seeds there |
| Let them go |
| Let them all go |
| Let 'em all go |
| This song is for the people |
| Who tell their families that they’re sorry |
| For things they can’t and won’t feel sorry for |
| And once there was a desk |
| And now it’s in a storage locker somewhere |
| And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons |
| I left in the top drawer |
| Let 'em all go |
| Let 'em all go |
| I wanna sing one for the cars |
| That are right now headed silent down the highway |
| And it’s dark and there is nobody driving |
| And something has got to give |
| I saw you waiting by the roadside |
| You didn’t know that I was watching |
| Now you know |
| Let it all go |
| Let 'em all go |
| Let it all go |
