Testo Sycamore - Negativland
Testo della canzone Sycamore (Negativland), tratta dall'album Escape from Noise
Firing party, ready
Sycamore is open
Aim, fire
That's how Sycamore opened
That's how Sycamore is (guns)
I say this somewhat quietly
And without fanfare because
How are you voting on the gun initiative?
Well, I'm against it
Because people who like their living green and private
Don't usually appreciate a lot of
Fluttering flags and cartwheeling clowns
There are 17 million adults in California
And an estimated 4 million handguns
But that's not fair
When no more can be sold
You can see that the majority of adults
Will be virtually prohibited from ever owning one
When this vacation land is sold out
That's right
Did you know it gives some people a special property right?
You mean my neighbor can have something legally that I can't have?
So if you've always admired parts of Piedmont or Orinda
But you could buy one
If you can convince someone to sell you his
And if you're willing to pay his price
And regret you didn't buy there 10 or 15 years ago
Sycamore should have considerable appeal
That's right
It is a custom community of personalized (guns)
For the private pleasure of a limited number of families
It allows people who already own handguns to keep them
After all, you aren't going to find
A finished big blue mountain lake in California
That isn't full of boats and people (guns)
And surrounded by cars
This opening is just the beginning
Of something people will want to Sunday drive through
For the next couple of hundred years
