This is not a Prison

This is not a prison
We are not prisoners
This is our meeting house
And we have come to pray-dance

Yes, we have come to pray-dance
Hallelujah
Tell it preacher
This is our meeting house
And we have to pray-dance

Well, this is not a prison (back)

We are not prisoners
This is our meeting house
And we have come to laugh,
Yes

This is not a prison
And I will tell you why
You can keep my feet in jail
But my soul, my soul will fly

Yes, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,la
You can keep my feet, my feet in jail
But my soul, my soul will fly, will fly.

Sun Power, Wind Power

Sun power, wind power, listen to the rain,
Voices of the earth are sweeping down the plain,
"Never, never pollute the land again,
No nukes, no nukes, no nukes."

Voices of the earth are calling everywhere,
Listen to the thunder, listen to the air,
"Treasures of the earth are here for all to share,
No nukes, no nukes, no nukes."

Voices of the earth are singing in the trees,
Listen to the night owl, listen to the breeze,
"Children of the earth must learn to walk in peace,
No nukes, no nukes, no nukes."

Sun power, wind power, water earth, and fire,
"Children of the earth, what is your desire?
She will be your mother or your funeral pyre,
No nukes, no nukes, no nukes."

Sun power, wind power, water, earth and fire, (3X)
No nukes, no nukes, no nukes.

Dedicated to the Native Americans of South Dakota and New Mexico

Silkwood

(chorus)

Silkwood, Silkwood
They cut her down that young woman in her prime
I was always taught to think that murder is a crime, murder is a crime.

(verses)

Silkwood
She said this place is radiating poison in the air
Kerr McGee took out a contract, get that woman out of there
Get that woman out of there.

Oh Silkwood
They infected her with cancer so deadly that she glowed
And when that did not shut her mouth
They ran her off the road, ran her off the road.

Oh, Silkwood
But no one was arrested, why are they walking free
For what they done to Silkwood.
That's murder in the first degree, in the first degree.

Oh, Silkwood
I'm not a vengeful person, but I would like to see
The same laws that apply to me
Apply to Industry,apply to Industry.

Silkwood
But no one was arrested, they're all walking free
And what they done to Silkwood
They're doing now to you and me, now to you and me.

Like Silkwood
From Rocky Flats to LC
From sea to shining sea
They're poisoning the air we breathe
And the water we drink and we love
And the mother's milk and the mother's milk.

But murder in the first degree, in the first degree
Like Silkwood, Silkwood.

But we can shut them down, stop the car, to get there we can shut them down.

But there is not much time
We haven't got much time
Like Silkwood.

Silkwood
We can shut them down, we can stop the car
To get there means shut them down and right now is the time
Right now is the time
The time to shut them down
Shut them down.

Pinch him on the ass and call him "honey,"
Put him to work as a Playboy bunny
