lirik lagu sun green (live) – neil young

[verse 1]
sun green started making waves
on the day her grandpa died
speakin’ out against anything
unjust or packed with lies

[verse 2]
she chained herself to a statue of an eagle
in the lobby of powerco
and started yelling through a megaphone
“there’s corruption on the highest floor!”

[verse 3]
suits poured out of elevators, “they’re all dirty”
phoneheads began to speak, “you can’t trust any of ’em”
security couldn’t get her down
she was welded to the eagle’s beak

[verse 4]
sun green leaned into that megaphone
and said, “truth is all i seek”
security brought in some blowtorches
news cameras recorded her speech

[verse 5]
“when the city is plunged into darkness
by an unpredicted rolling blackout
the white house always blames the governor
sayin’ ‘the solution is to vote him out'”
[verse 6]
on top of that great bronze eagle
sun’s voice was loud and clear
she said, “powerco is working with the white house
to paralyze our state with fear”

[verse 7]
it was a golden moment golden moment
in the history of tv news
no one could explain it
it just got great reviews

[refrain]
“hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too
hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too
hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too
hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too”

[guitar break]

[verse 8]
the imitators were playing
down at john lee’s bar
when sun went down to see ’em
someone followed her in a car
[verse 9]
now when she goes dancing
she has to watch her back
the fbi just trashed her room
one of them kicked her cat

[verse 10]
the d*mn thing scratched his leg
and he had to shoot it dead
and leave it lying in a puddle of blood
at the foot of sun green’s bed

[refrain]
“hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too
hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too

[guitar solo]

[verse 11]
john lee’s was rocking
the imitators drove it home
sun was dancing up a heatwave
for a while she was all alone

[verse 12]
when up walked a tall stranger
he shadowed her move to move
in perfect unison
a supernatural groove
[verse 13]
he took her by the hand
and the room began to spin
he said, “i’m earth… earth brown
you know the shape i’m in”

[verse 14]
“i’m leavin’ tonight for alaska
and i want you to come in the spring
and be a goddess in the planet wars
trying to save the livin’ things”

[verse 15]
“i’m ready to go right now”
sun green told earth brown
“let’s go back to my place
pick up my cat and leave this town behind”

[refrain]
“hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too
hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too

[harmonica solo]

[verse 16]
next day, sun green was busted for pot
and it made the headline news
but then the charges all got dropped
and the story got confused

[verse 17]
she’d still like to meet julia b*tterfly
and see what remedy brings
and be a goddess in the planet wars
trying to save the living thing

[verse 18]
but that might not be easy
living on the run
mother earth has many enemies
there’s much work to be done

[outro]
“hey mr. clean, you’re dirty now too
