Well while we got you singing we'll do a song about the elves
The elves in the forests
[F#] I've never met one
Civil disobedience [B] has many permutations.
[C#] You can block the streets in front of the [F#] United Nations
You can lay down on the tracks [B] keep the new trains out of [F#] town
Or [C#] you can pour gas on the condo and you can burn it down
So [D#m] here's a toast to the [B] night three [F#] cheers and a grunt.
That's your part.
Hey
[B] Very good, very good.
You got it next time
We'll all get it right and then you can sing with this part to to the earth liberation
[D#m] front
the [C#] earth liberation
[F#] front
You can go to Senate hearings wait till they call your name
My hat is [C#] off to anyone with the will to play [F#] that game
But if you want to know the truth, what warms my aching heart is [C#] to see the masked avengers come [G#] to tear the road apart
[C#] So here's [D#m] a toast to the night [B] three [F#] cheers and a grunt
To the [C#] earth liberation
[D#m] front the earth [F#] liberation
Front
Well, they'll tell you that it's violence to destroy a logging truck
[C#] These are the very people who killed a planet for a buck
They'll tell you to talk and be reasonable.
They'll say [B] maybe we can talk tomorrow, but [C#] we can pull the GM crops today
So here's a toast [D#m] to the night [B] three cheers [F#] and a grunt
[B] To the earth [D#m] liberation
Front [B] the earth liberation
[F#] Front
There are so many things of beauty in this world to see [C#] a wild running river or an old rose [F#] redwood tree
It's such an ugly situation.
So sinister [F#] and dire
There's [B] nothing quite so lovely [C#] as a Walmart on fire
So [D#m] here's a toast to the night three [F#] cheers and a grunt
Hey
[B] To the earth liberation
[D#m] front the earth [C#] liberation
