Dams are for Beavers
Let the wild run free
Cause I'm a believer
In humanity
What did birds do before telephone wires
Did forests exist before we fought their fires
I'm a citizen of sand I'm a California choir
I was raised on songs and moving water
Raised on rocks in the creek
Dams are for Beavers
Let the wild run free
Cause I'm a believer
In humanity
On a river in Nepal there's a woman on the wall
With a hammer and a harness and a hundred foot fall
She dams the river and drowns the home
Her family's been livin' since before she was born
She keeps pounding away, she makes five fifty a day
And the work puts food on the table
Dams are for Beavers
Let the wild run free
Cause I'm a believer
In humanity
There's a river in Austin that they a call a lake
And I swear it moves when I really concentrate
Few people in town can tell which way is down stream
It makes no difference at least nobody's drowning
Dammed fifteen times but who's really counting
At least we have air conditioning
And oh my god
We live in this world, we can't run away
And oh my god
I've been staring at screen, I ain't been out all day
And oh my god
Take me river, take me down to pray
Dams are for Beavers
Let the wild run free
Cause I'm a believer
In humanity
Dams are for Beavers
Let the wild run free-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee
Cause I'm a believer
In humanity
Yeah, I'm a believer
In humanity
