Concert in front of Exxon building on Manhattan's 6th avenue to protest the Exxon-Valdez catastrophe. The concert was not authorized
So you cut all the tall trees down You poisoned the sky and the sea
You've taken what's good from the ground But you left precious little for me
You remember the flood and the fall We remember the light on the hill There should be enough for us all But the dollar is driving us still
River runs red
Black rain falls Dust in my hand
River runs red Black rain falls On my bleeding land
So we came and conquered and found Riches of commons and kings Who strangled and wrestled the ground
But they never put back anything
Now I'm trapped like a dog in a cage
Wherever the truth is pursued It must be the curse of the age What's taken is never renewed
River runs red...
Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started. They could still get him out of office. But instead, they want mass death. Don’t forget that.
I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream I cannot make a single sound as you scream it can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch this place is so quiet, sensing that storm
red rain is coming down red rain
red rain is pouring down pouring down all over me
well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town they tell you that this rain can sting, and look down there is no blood around see no sign of pain
hay ay ay no pain seeing no red at all, see no rain
red rain is coming down red rain
red rain is pouring down pouring down all over me
red rain- putting the pressure on much harder now to return again and again just let the red rain splash you let the rain fall on your skin I come to you defences down with the trust of a child
red rain is coming down red rain red rain is pouring down pouring down all over me and I can't watch any more no more denial
it's so hard to lay down in all of this red rain is coming down red rain is pouring down red rain is coming down all over me I see it red rain is coming down red rain is pouring down red rain is coming down all over me I'm bathing in it red rain coming down red rain is coming down red rain is coming down all over me I'm begging you
red rain coming down red rain coming down red rain coming down red rain coming down
over me in the red red sea
over me over me red rain

Hear the past a' calling From Armageddon's side When everyone's talking and no one Is listening How can we decide
lipstick for your face
And in the long run he will kill you
I can see your body lie
to put the shadow on our eye Maybe we'll go Maybe we'll disappear It's not that we don't know It's just that we don't want to care.
Over the years you have been hunted
by the men who threw harpoons And in the long run he will kill you just to feed the pets we raise, put the flowers in your vase and make the lipstick for your face. Over the years you swam the ocean Following feelings of your own Now you are washed up on the shoreline I can see your body lie It's a shame you have to die
to put the shadow on our eye Maybe we'll go Maybe we'll disappear It's not that we don't know It's just that we don't want to care. Under the bridges Over the foam Wind on the water Carry me home.

The dollar went down and the President said “Who’s in charge, now?” I don’t know, take your pick. A new disease every day and the old ones are coming back Things are looking kind of gray, like they’re going to black
Don’t turn on the TV, don’t show me the paper (I) don’t want to know he got kidnapped or why they all raped her I want to go on vacation ‘till the pressure lets up But they keep hijacking airplanes and blowing them up
It’s been a hard day on the planet How much is it all worth? It’s getting harder to understand it Things are tough all over on earth.
It’s hot in December and cold in July When it rains it pours out of a poisonous sky In California the body counts keep getting higher It’s evil out there, man that state is always on fire.
Everyone has a system, but they can’t seem to win Even Bob Geldorf looks alarmingly thin I got to get on that shuttle get me out of this place But there’s gonna be warfare up there in outer space
I’ve got clothes on my back and shoes on my feet A roof over my head and something to eat My kids are all healthy and my folks are alive You know, it’s amazing but sometimes I think I’ll survive
I’ve got all of my fingers and all of my toes I’m pretty well off I guess, I suppose So how come I feel bad so much of the time? A man ain’t an island—John Dunn wasn’t lying
It’s business as usual; some things never change It’s unfair, it’s tough, unkind and it’s strange We don’t seem to learn; we can’t seem to stop Maybe some explosions would close up the shop
You know, maybe that would be fine: we would be off the hook We resolved all our problems, never mind what it took And it all would be over, finito, the end Until the survivers started up all over again
god damn the pusher man
god damn god damn
The dealer for a nickel Goin to sell you lots of sweet dreams. Ah...but the pusher will ruin your body; Lord he'll leave your mind to scream. God Damn! The pusher. God Damn! God damn the pusher. I said God Damn! God damn the pusher man. Well now if I were the president of this land You know I'd declare total war on the pusher man. I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he run, And I'd kill him with my bible, and my razor and my gun.... GOD DAMN! The pusher God damn the pusher.

You're tellin' lies, so don't you criticize Yeah I got used, all messed up and abused
You let me down, with all your runnin' round Still you pretend and try to call me friend
don't say a word, I know just what I heard Yeah you've been loose, you just go no excuse
Just feel my rage, why can't you come of age?
I felt it all, just like a cannonball
Then you got mad, you said that I'm all bad
So what's the use, you lied and that's the truth You took the key and drove right out on me
I never knew, put all my trust in you
OK that's it, I'm leaving now, I quit I was unwise, so don't apologize I paid the price, for taking your advice
I felt it all, just like a cannonball
You can say what you want all day But I've never been so outraged I'm washing my hands of you
How could you be so untrue
You know I can't stand no more You know I can't stand no more
Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
Rip off the masks and let's see.
But that's no right - oh no, what's the story?
There's you and there's me
That can't be right

. The Cuyahoga River must've been mentioned. It's been catching fire since 1868. That's a river we're talking about. A river regularly catching fire.
Another R.E.M. song, from when they were really good:
A section from a docu:
The largest river fire in 1952 caused over $1 million in damage to boats and a riverfront office building.[13] Fires erupted on the river several more times before June 22, 1969, when a river fire captured the attention of Time magazine, which described the Cuyahoga as the river that "oozes rather than flows" and in which a person "does not drown but decays."[14]
The 1969 Cuyahoga River fire helped spur an avalanche of water pollution control activities resulting in the Clean Water Act, Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, and the creation of the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA). As a result, large point sources of pollution on the Cuyahoga have received significant attention from the OEPA in recent decades.
These events are referred to in Randy Newman's 1972 song "Burn On", R.E.M.'s 1986 song "Cuyahoga", and Adam Again's 1992 song "River on Fire". Great Lakes Brewing Company of Cleveland, Ohio name their Burning River Pale Ale after the event.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuyahoga_R ... l_concerns
Happy ending? Mmmph. .

I missed the good part then I realized, I started looking and the bubble burst.
I started looking for excuses.
Come on in,
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in, I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones, That I started looking for a warning sign.
When the truth is, I miss you.
Yeah the truth is, That I miss you so.
A warning sign, You came back to haunt me and I realized you were an island and I passed you by, You were an island to discover.
Come on in, I've gotta tell you what state I'm in, I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones, That I started looking for a warning sign.
When the truth is, I miss you.
Yeah the truth is, That I miss you so.
And I'm tired, I should not have let you go.
So I crawl back into your open arms. Yes, I crawl back into your open arms. And I crawl back into your open arms. Yes, I crawl back into your open arms...
