Buffy Sainte-Marie - No No Keshagesh lyrics

rate me

I never saw so many business suits.<br />

Never knew a dollar sign that looked so cute.<br />

Never knew a junkie with a money Jones:<br />

He's singing, "Who's selling Park Place. Who's buying Boardwalk"?<br />

These old men they make their dirty deals.<br />

Go in the back room and see what they can steal.<br />

Talk about your beautiful and spacious skies.<br />

It's about uranium; it's about the water rights.<br />

Put Mother Nature on a luncheon plate.<br />

They cut her up and call it real estate.<br />

Want all the resources and all of the land.<br />

They make a war over it: Blow things up for it.<br />

The reservation now is poverty row.<br />

There's something cooking and the lights are low.<br />

Somebody's trying to save our mother earth.<br />

I'm gonna help them to save it, <br />

To sing it and bring it<br />

<br />

Singing: No no Keshagesh: <br />

You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)<br />

No, no, no, no Keshagesh<br />

You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)<br />

No, no, no, no Keshagesh<br />

You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)<br />

No, no, no, no Keshagesh<br />

You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)<br />

<br />

Ole Columbus he was looking good, <br />

When he got lost in our neighborhood.<br />

Garden of Eden right before his eyes.<br />

Now it's all spy ware: now it's all income tax.<br />

Ole' brother Midas looking hungry today.<br />

What he can't buy he'll get some other way.<br />

Send in the troopers if the natives resist.<br />

Old, old story boys, that's how you do it boys.<br />

Look at these people; ah they're on a roll.<br />

Gonna have it all, gonna have complete control.<br />

Want all the resources and all of the land.<br />

They'll break the law for it: Blow things up for it.<br />

When all our champions are off in the war, <br />

Their final rip off here and is always on.<br />

Mr. greed I think your time has come.<br />

We're gonna sing it and pray it and live it then say it.<br />

<br />

Singing: No no Keshagesh: <br />

You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)<br />

No, no, no, no Keshagesh<br />

You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)<br />

No, no, no, no Keshagesh<br />

You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)<br />

No, no, no, no Keshagesh<br />

You can't do that no more, (no more, no more no more)
