Cement Octopus-Pete Seeger[00:00:01]

There＇s a cement octopus sits in Sacramento I think [00:00:06]

Gets red tape to eat gasoline taxes to drin [00:00:12]

And it grows by day and it grows by night[00:00:18]

And it rolls over everything in sight [00:00:21]

Oh stand by me and protect that tree[00:00:24]

From the freeway misery [00:00:27]

Who knows how the monster started to grow that way;[00:00:32]

Its parents are frightened and wish it would go away [00:00:38]

But the taxes keep coming they have to be spent[00:00:44]

On big bull dozers and tanks of cement [00:00:48]

Oh stand by me and protect that tree[00:00:51]

From the freeway misery [00:00:53]

Dear old MacLaren won＇t take this lying down [00:00:59]

We can hear his spirit move in the sandy ground [00:01:04]

He built this Eden on the duney plain [00:01:10]

Now they＇re making it a concrete desert again [00:01:14]

Oh stand by me and protect that tree[00:01:17]

From the freeway misery [00:01:20]

The men on the highways need those jobs we know[00:01:26]

Lets put them to work planting new trees to grow [00:01:32]

Building new parks where kids can play [00:01:39]

Pushing that cement monster away [00:01:42]

Oh stand by me and protect that tree[00:01:45]

From the freeway misery[00:01:48]

There's a cement octopus sits in Sacramento I think [00:01:50]

Gets red tape to eat gasoline taxes to drin [00:01:57]

And it grows by day and it grows by night[00:02:03]

And it rolls over everything in sight [00:02:06]

Oh stand by me and protect that tree[00:02:09]
