WE

WE

we are man

we do war

we are good we are

we are unforgiving

we seldom take prisoners

we do but only because 

we can

we s**t where we eat

we then move on

we know when to go

we have little regrets

we of all creatures only rival sharks and killer whales

we lust for entertainment value of the kill

we are nothing 

we are not one to envy

we are not the apex of all

we must accept

we must remember

we don't mean s**t to the trees

Eskimo Blue Day

Jefferson Airplane 1969

Volunteers (bonus track)

Sun cuts loose from the frozen

Until it joins with the African sea

In moving it changes its cold and its name

The reason I come and I go is the same

Animal game for me

You call it rain

But the human name

Doesn't mean s**t to a tree

And if you don't mind heat in your river and

Fork tongue talking from me

Swim like an eel fantastic snake

Take my love when it's free

Electric feel with me

You call it loud

But the human crowd

Doesn't mean s**t to a tree

Change the strings and notes slide

Change the bridge and string shift down

Shift the notes and bridge sings

Fire eating people

Rising toys of the sun

Energy dies without body warm

Icicles ruin your gun

Water my roots the natural thing

Natural spring to the sea

Sulfur springs make my body float

Like a ship made of logs from a tree

Oh, redwoods talk to me

Say it plainly

The human name

Doesn't mean s**t to a tree

Snow called water going violent

Damn the end of the stream

Too much cold in one place breaks

That's why you might know what I mean

Consider how small you are

Compared to your scream

The human dream

Doesn't mean s**t to a tree
