Neil Young - Sun Green Lyrics
Sun Green started makin' wavesOn the day that Grandpa diedSpeakin' out against anythingUnjust or packed with liesShe chained herself to a statue of an eagleIn the lobby of Power Co.And started yelling 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 any of them."Security couldn't get her downShe was welded to the eagle's beak.Sun Green leaned into that megaphone, said,"Truth is all I seek."Security brought in some blow torchesNews cameras recorded her speech,"When the city is plunged into darknessby an unpredicted rolling blackoutThe White House always blames the governorSaying the solution is to vote him out."On top of that great bronze eagleSun's voice was loud and clear. She said,"Power Co's working with the White Houseto paralyze our state with fear."It was a golden momentIn the history of TV newsNo one could believe itIt 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 playingDown at Jon Lee's barWhen Sun went down to see emSomeone followed her in a carNow when she goes dancin'She has to watch her backThe FBI just trashed her roomOne of them kicked her catDamn thing scratched his legSo he had to shoot it deadAnd leave it lyin' in a puddle of bloodAt the foot of Sun Green's bedJon Lee's was rockin'The Imitators drove it homeSun was dancin' up a heat waveFor awhile she was all aloneWhen up walked a tall strangerShadowed her move to moveIn perfect unisonA supernatural grooveHe took her by the handAnd the room began to spinHe said, "I'm Earth; Earth Brown.You know the shape I'm in."I'm leavin' tonight for AlaskaAnd I want you to come in the springAnd be a goddess in the planet warsAnd 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.""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."Next day Sun Green got busted for potAnd it made the headline newsBut then the charges all got droppedAnd the story gets confusedI'd still like to meet Julia ButterflyAnd see what remedy bringsAnd be a goddess in the planet warsTry to save the living things"But that might not be easyLivin' on the runMother Earth has many enemiesThere'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."
