That's Weavers Way
Lyrics by the St. Mad Trio.
To tune of "Those Were the Days"
-------------------------------
I used to be a careless name brand buyer
Firmly in the pocket of the man
Now I must aspire to be higher
Supporting independents when I can
Once I was a supermarket shopper
Longing to escape the corporate scene
Now I'm bagging cashews in the basement
Serving time at Carpenter and Greene
CHORUS
That's Weaver's Way, my friends
where exploitation ends
and we defend the planet every day
Oh no, its not too late
if we cooperate,
That's Weaver's Way, oh yes, that's Weaver's Way
|
I used to get my groceries at the Walmart
Processed foods and toxic household goods
Now I know a rice cake from a pop tart
Like all the other hippies in the hood
There was a time I never bought organic
Dinnertime meant orders on the phone
Running out of Fritos made me panic
Now it's all free-range, locally grown
CHORUS
That's Weaver's Way, my friends,
where exploitation ends
and we defend the planet every day
Trade fairly, do no harm Say no to factory farms
That's Weaver's Way, oh yes, that's Weaver's Way
That's Weaver's Way, my friends,
progressive to the end
with everything from rice milk to pate´
Sign up, its not late Let's all cooperate.
That's Weaver's Way, oh yes, that's Weaver's Way
