FOSSIL FOOLERY Free fall and down! The structure start to shuffle/crumble. Falling down, falling down, we will see the ground! Free fall and down! A few barrels for a battle. Running out, running out, just leave it in the ground! Peak oil in town and with a planet that gets hotter they want us to crack all the sky; to see if we can steal just one more time. Draining off of a treasure, without measure, cos long time ago we forgot what's the limit to make little plastic soldiers. Don't you think it's time to put a stop? Free fall and down! The structure start to.... Bad Wolf in town! And when the people start to stand up to take their lives in their hands a bunch of greedy oily chiefs take us down. But time is off now. We will take action no matter how much they want to take us down. We'll make a Fossil Fool party while making/building the new world! 'Eco-terrorists!" "Eco-fascists!" "Bunch of petulant hippies!" "C'mon, get a job!" You seem so concerned about us.. But while you are counting our fingers, honey, we all are burning out. Who do you think are gonna save us? Little plastic soldiers? (I don't think so!) Ooooh! You, fossil fool! You're a fossil fool! (Yes, you are) Fever for black gold, breaking the ground, diggin' my life. Digging, digging, digging... Till the hole reaches the soul. Fever for black gold, breaking the ground, hitting my life. Hitting, hitting, hitting here... Was it worth it after all? Oooh! You, fossil fool! You're a fossil fool! (yes, you are) Oooh! You, fossil fool! You're a fossil fool! (but baby, we all are) Free fall and down! Down! Down!

HERE WE GO AGAIN Ví lo que no quiero: hoy, un mundo tanteando en la oscuridad. Sé, es un misterio: dos caminos.. y mi gente a dónde va? Here we go again.. tell me, how long it's going to take? Every minute passing through our eyes are we going to let the pot get hot, and wait? Waiting for the "magic voice” telling us when our food is done; when to turn off the dream, when to un-clock the clock, when to smile and say 'yes' when the answer is no. Well, if you don't know someone else know how to play the game: “You just send us a letter, then be patient and quiet” “We control climate change”, “Only poor countries will be hurt” and “We have a fairy tale of coal for you.. it's on its way!” (Do you know how to pray?) Our planet is burning.. and we're waiting for instructions! I know it's difficult. I know it's not easy to detach from that fooling hand, cos it fixes everything for us, but the damage is done (we did it!) The clock sand is getting empty now.. Mother, rivers, waterfalls, how the hell we end up on this road? Is this an awkward dream? Is this the end of the game? Are we going to wake up? Are the strings as tight as they say? ('cos we do as they say!) Our future is burning.... and we do just what they say... But there is another path, my love, a different exit we all could take. And it's one full of beauty, my love, full of courage ..and vegan cakes! Where the wind play with us, my love, swirling, swinging, giving us the strength. Let's just take it, and tell the kids that we are here to stay. That THEY can stay. (And in the forests, and in the mountains, the voices of the Grandmothers are rising, they are praying for us to choose wisely. "Think of the children" they say, "the innocents") Oh! Tunkasila, omakiyayo! Omakiyayo! Oh! Tunkasila, omakiyayo! Omakiyayo! Ay! Allpa Mama, guíanos! Guíanos! Ay! Pacha Mama, guíanos! Guíanos! Here we go again tell me, how long it's going to take? Every minute passing through our eyes are we going to let the pot get hot? I know it's difficult. I know it's not easy to detach from that fooling hand, cos it fixes everything for us, but the damage is done (they did it!) The corporations never let us decide, my love. Mother, rivers, waterfalls, can you guide us to go back on the road? Can we create a new dream? Can we actually win this game? Can we start to wake up? .. or are the strings still there?

MATARILE Let's play a good dream tonight Let's imagine that we shine. Matarile, Matarile Rile-ro. Let's believe that love is here, that we can make this dreaming real. Matarile, Matarile Rile-ro. I don't know what's in your bag but I'm not up for justifying: every choice that I make everyday I know it is affecting your world. And when you get home tonight, tell me: will you sleep all night? Don't you feel it's time to face the monsters we've been piling up at the future's door? I bet that you wish, just like me, that we can wake up light and free on an Earth of clear skies, free pancakes and happy faces. But all the time that we postpone trying to buy happiness instead of getting involved, the tide keeps rising and soon will cover children's faces. Let's play a good dream tonight. Let's imagine that we shine. Matarile, Matarile Rile-ro. Let's believe that love is here (already) Let's believe that we can win. Matarile, Matarile Rile-ro. Now, I don't know what's in your bag but I'm not exactly up for giving up; every choice that I make every day I know it is affecting our world. And I don't care how hard it gets I will not wait for the hurricane sitting in bed. I will happily give my last dance to the smile on children's faces. So, let's play a good dream tonight...

BIG OIL DEVIL When the Christians came to my land we were all naked and we did smile. The rivers were clean. The jungle was fine. When the SIL invaded our land. Down came the Big Oil, Texaco as well, (thanks to the path that the Christians paved) telling my people that the oil spills had their god's blessings and vitamins. Hundreds of gallons of toxic waste for thirty years pumped and dumped there; our sacred home and our people's health poisoned by greedy pale faces. November 1993 Amazon's people would take the grit (stood up with grit) thirthy thousand sued the Texaco's greed. Down with the Big Oil devil! Down with the Big Oil devil! Down with the Big Oil devil!
