Hopefully Dobie, my dear, it will stop HERE.

I once got dragged up on stage at a huge Musician's benefit for Katrina, because off hand the night before I whipped off a couple new verses to House of the Rising Sun that popped into my head.... so here I was trying to remember and reading my own lyrics off of a bev nap in front of thousands of "actual" musicians...

So, in the spiriti of that, to the same tune, here's a couple verses for your picnic, if anyone is bringing guitars and knows the melody.

Down in Tenacitita
the man brought his machines
tore the peoples houses down
left them with just no means.

So children, raise your voices
he don't know what ejido means
together as mi gente
we'll bring him to his knees..

(yeah, I shouldn't have used means twice, maybe someone else can fix it)
