They Didn't Listen (1973)
They Didn't Listen
And i told them not to dig for gold*
for if they did, the eagle would die
They didn't listen
They didn't listen!
they didn't listen...
To me.
And I told 'em if the eagle died
There would be no keeper of the land
They didn't listen
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
To me.
And if there was no keeper of the land,
Machine would come and soon destroy the sky
they didn't listen
They didn't listen!
they didn't listen...
To me.
And i told 'em if they destroyed the land
Man would have to move into the sea
They didn't listen
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
To me.
And i told 'em if they destroy the sea...
They didn't listen
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
from the 1973 album Custer Died for Your Sins
* Westerman often substituted 'uranium' for 'gold' when singing this song. To conclude his presentation at the World Uranium Hearings in Austria in 1992, he recited some of the lyrics to this song.
