Текст песни Song for the ELF (David Rovics) с переводом

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 kill 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
