The Lyrics
Written in 1996, about the Newt Gingrich-led Republican assault on environmental protection
Newt lost all his senses
When he clear cut the forest
Mined the mountains in spring time
And ignored acid rain
Turned the swamp into desert
Allowed wastes in the ocean
Newt lost all his senses
Don't do it again
Come, let me show you
You took wildlife with you
While you're dying of laughter
All the way to the bank
Poisons will reside in us
They will always stay with you
Foul air's above you
Don't do that again
(Instrumental)
Newt lost all his senses
When he clear cut the forest
Mined the mountains in spring time
And ignored acid rain
Turned the swamp into desert
Allowed wastes in the ocean
Newt lost all his senses
He's done it again
When he clear cut the forest
Mined the mountains in spring time
And ignored acid rain
Turned the swamp into desert
Allowed wastes in the ocean
Newt lost all his senses
Don't do it again
Come, let me show you
You took wildlife with you
While you're dying of laughter
All the way to the bank
Poisons will reside in us
They will always stay with you
Foul air's above you
Don't do that again
(Instrumental)
Newt lost all his senses
When he clear cut the forest
Mined the mountains in spring time
And ignored acid rain
Turned the swamp into desert
Allowed wastes in the ocean
Newt lost all his senses
He's done it again
