(E) Well, I'm gonna raise a fuss and I'm gonna raise a holler (E)(A)(B)(E)

If the Direct Action Fund don't send me a thousand dollars (E)(A)(B)(E)

Well the (A) base camp is broke and I think it's gonna move

No there (E) ain't no cure for the (B) Redwood Summer (E) Blues (E)(A)(B)(E)

Well I hope the next demo has a good turnout

All the organizers are suffering from burnout

Well the press release is lost and the recon team is too

You know there ain't no cure for the Redwood Summer Blues

Well the media is turning out in record numbers

They photograph the freaks and they publish all our blunders

Then its fifteen whopping seconds on the evening news

You know there ain't no cure for the Redwood Summer Blues

So we chained our necks to a logging gate with padlocks

They hauled us off the jail and they shaved off our dreadlocks

Then Karissa got arrested cause her sign said "We Love You"

You know there ain't no cure for the Redwood Summer Blues

Well I wish that Tracy would get off of the computer

If she don't let me at the Mac I think I'm gonna shoot her

Well she's guarding her fax and her Macintosh II

You know there ain't no cure for the Redwood Summer Blues

Well Pacific Lumber's President was feeling kind of mean-a

He drove through our picket line made off with Bob Serina

Well the people didn't know if they should cheer or they should boo

You know there ain't no cure for the Redwood Summer Blues
