I am a little Sucker fish, my worth
beyond compare.
Just look at Klamath farmers, to see
how they have fared.
Their land is dry and empty, and many
farms were lost.
But the water is all mine, so for me
they paid the cost.
I am a Silver salmon, my worth beyond
compare.
Chutes and ladders have they built
me; media coverage on the air.
I'm sacred to the Indians, my power
is very great.
I've lamed the fishing industry, I
leave them to their fate.
I am the Spotted owl, my worth beyond
compare.
For me, a few cried foul; I'm
a specimen so rare.
Endless people lost their jobs; I
brought logging to a halt.
A way of life was changed, to protect
my habitat.
I'm a Rocky Mountain elk, I am a Big
Horn sheep.
Wise, all knowing man, think we cannot
earn our keep.
They fly above in choppers, and shoot
us with a dart;
Transport our drugged up bodies, to
a land of unknown parts.
I am an unborn child, my worth beyond
compare?
The courts pronounced me guilty; my
innocence? they didn't care.
My mother doesn't want me, is
there anyone who does?
Please don't take me to the butcher,
he slaughters just because.
God gave dominion to the man, the
earth is to subdue.
He put it in man's care; a gift
to wisely use.
But the folly of mankind, has been
unfaithful to that trust.
They've elevated animal kind, leaving
humans in the dust.
