lirik lagu plenty other reasons – billy keane
[verse 1]
i’ve always been a traveler
but someday i truly hope i’ll settle down
i’ll be sitting by the fire side, my old lady there beside me
a couple dozen grandkids all around
they’ll say, “grampa, tell a story, recount the former glory
of the places that you been and all you’ve seen
oh, tell us of mother nature, all those bygone little creatures
where rivers still run blue, and the forests were green”
and i’ll try to recollect it as best i can remember it
how blessed was that ground, our mother earth
now impossible to tell, i once knew it all so well
but those poor kids will never really know the truth
[chorus]
oh, now really what i’m saying is i just don’t understand
why living like you want to means you can’t protect the land
plenty other reasons if you want to start a fight
just one earth, it doesn’t matter if you’re left or if you’re right
[verse 2]
anyway, back to my daydream, when i was old and reminiscing
but my memory was clouding up my eye
all that beauty that we ruined, cutting, blasting, drilling too
and politicians said we had to pick a side
well, the epa was nixon
republican, conservative, it’s true
so why does voting on the right side mean you have to cast a blind eye
to the disappearing nature around you?
[chorus]
oh, now really what i’m saying is i just don’t understand
why living like you want to means you can’t protect the land
plenty other reasons if you want to start a fight
but just one earth, it doesn’t matter if you’re left or if you’re right
[verse 3]
so all my friends with all your guns
i bet you fish and i bet you hunt, i bet you taught your little kids to love it to
well, i’m not very good either, but i’ll walk the path beside you
if you’ll join the fight and walk beside me too
you must see what i am saying, it’s politics, the game they’re playing
you and me? we’re on the same side of the line
oh, this land was made for all of us, not just the long haired hippies on the vw bus
this fight is just as yours as it is mine
[chorus]
oh, now really what i’m saying is i just don’t understand
why living like you want to means you can’t protect the land
plenty other reasons if you want to start a fight
just one earth, it doesn’t matter if you’re left or if you’re right
[outro]
oh, now really what i’m saying is i just don’t understand
why living like you want to means you can’t protect the land
there’s plenty other reasons if you want to start a fight
just one earth, it doesn’t matter if you’re left or if you’re right
it’s just one earth, it doesn’t matter if you’re left or if you’re right
