HEY GOVERNMENT

This is a rhino song I have written in the hope that some brave artist will sing it for the rhino project. Of course I would sing it (I am not scared!) but I am not sure they want more than one song per artist and I already have Fools Errand with Herb. So anyway.

Our government is making a right nana of itself by thinking about legalizing the trade in rhino horn. It is being pressurized by some very powerful "rhino farmers". The size of the stock pile in South Africa is estimated to be 1 Billion USD so big money is at stake here. So this is my plea to our government.

Hey Government
Why you busy sittin' on the fence
The rhinos are busy dying
Legal trading dont make any sense
How long will you keep up this pretense

Hey Government
Dust is slowly gathering in your vault
Slowly covering over
Coverin' your billion dollar hoard
Are you bitter that your stash remains unsold

Hey Government
Are you bending to some inside force
They are powerful and persuasive
Their argument has a fatal flaw
You say your unbiased to their course

Hey Government
What you think's the right thing to do
Keep on peddling a worthless substance
How it turns out is really up to you
Your decision affects other countries too

Hey Government
Its time to climb down from the wall
Its time to put on your big girl panties
Be the answer an example to use all
Time to burn your rhino horn
Time to burn your rhino horn
