Neil Young: Who’s Gonna Stand Up?” (and save the EARTH)

(This version is an acoustic solo – scroll down for lyrics.  See also Neil Young Live with Crazy Horse – Who’s Gonna Stand Up?)

Lyrics:

Protect the wild, tomorrow’s child
Protect the land from the greed of man
Take down the dams, stand up to oil
Protect the plants, and renew the soil

Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
Who’s gonna say that she’s had enough?
Who’s gonna take on the big machine?
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
This all starts with you and me

Damn the dams, save the rivers
Starve the takers and feed the givers
Build a dream, save the world
We’re the people know as earth

Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
Who’s gonna say that she’s had enough?
Who’s gonna take on the big machine?
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
This all starts with you and me

Ban fossil fuel, draw the line
Before we build, one more pipeline
Ban fracking now, save the waters
And build a life, for our sons and daughters

Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
Who’s gonna say that she’s had enough?
Who’s gonna take on the big machine?
Who’s gonna stand up and save the earth?
This all starts with you and me

Who’s gonna stand up
Who’s gonna stand up
Who’s gonna stand up
Who’s gonna stand up
Who’s gonna stand up

Neil Young: “We need to end the fossil fuel age”

[Editor: Our struggle here in Benicia, California is in many ways a “NOT IN MY BACKYARD” fight.  But our work is incredibly important to those whose backyards, front doors, ranches and open spaces are located uprail from here.  We are called upon to STOP crude by rail on behalf of those  who live near the tar-sands mining operations in Canada and the fracked shale fields in North Dakota and Montana.  Listen as Neil Young speaks from the heart.  – RS]
