[Coyote's invitation to get whup; to be seized by the spirit of ultimately victorious wilderness]

lyrics

Alright!
People get whup!
Yeah I'm a beat-up dreamer too,
I'm a justice fighter too,
penniless oatmeal eater,
student turned farmer,
renter turned squatter,
yeah I'm a bed frame breaker,
a river rock layer on-er,
come skinny dip in the river with me,
our planet just got hotter!
We got no time to wait for justice!
Yesterday their time was up!
Not goin limp n' lyin' down,
when sea level got sense to rise up!
You say: “2050 blah blah blah,
we’ll pass a law blah blah” - enough!
Our patience and our sky’s on fire,
and now our people wised up, that:
The wilderness is not for purchase,
the will of god is not the church's!
The wilderness is not for purchase,
the will of god is not the church's!
People get whup!
Roll the city up like rug!
Find the body underneath!
Now we forgot the men’s last names
the men put on our peaks!
Dance 'til nothing is for sale again,
and nothing is for free!
We’re dancing on,
that door right now!
Let’s pick em up!
We’ll put em down!
Hear our bodies, howlin’ answers,
feel our minds trampled by dancers!
People get whup!
We're gonna get up to the ground!
Now the way up is down!
Now the way up is down!
Let’s go!
Come on!
