Whose woods these are I think I know They stole them when they found the gold Well a broken little treaty holds the proof Now it's snowblind madness on the plains I clamor for a purer strain Well you don't need many words to speak the truth Rise up and be lonely Where daisies burn and kisses fade From lack of light in heart and mind Cold hymns explode and voodoo scenes erupt in time I make my way in leaves and roots I'm trembling in my travelin shoes I don't believe, but I believe I'll dust my broom Rise up and be lonely Stripes on my shoulders, chains on my feet All the money in the world is a lame retreat From the shelter behind our eyes Look now the sun hangs like a thief Over branches leaf to leaf And I'm out walking Under corporate criminal skies Rise up in the morning Rise up and be lonely
