Sun Green started makin' waves On the day that Grandpa died Speakin' out against anything Unjust or packed with lies She chained herself to a statue of an eagle In the lobby of Power Co. And started yelling through a megaphone, "There's corruption on the highest floor." Suits poured out of elevators "You're all dirty." Phoneheads began to speak "You can't trust any of them." Security couldn't get her down She was welded to the eagle's beak. Sun Green leaned into that megaphone, said, "Truth is all I seek." Security brought in some blow torches News cameras recorded her speech, "When the city is plunged into darkness By an unpredicted rolling blackout The White House always blames the governor Saying the solution is to vote him out." On top of that great bronze eagle Sun's voice was loud and clear. She said, "Power Co's working with the White House To paralyze our state with fear." It was a golden moment In the history of TV news No one could believe it It just got great reviews "Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too." The Imitators were playing Down at John Lee's bar When Sun went down to see â??em Someone followed her in a car Now when she goes dancin' She has to watch her back The FBI just trashed her room One of them kicked her cat Damn thing scratched his leg So he had to shoot it dead And leave it lyin' in a puddle of blood At the foot of Sun Green's bed John Lee's was rockin' The Imitators drove it home Sun was dancin' up a heat wave For awhile she was all alone When up walked a tall stranger Shadowed her move to move In perfect unison A supernatural groove He took her by the hand And the room began to spin He said, "I'm Earth; Earth Brown. You know the shape I'm in. "I'm leavin' tonight for Alaska And I want you to come in the spring And be a goddess in the planet wars And save the living things. "I'm ready to go right now," Sun Green told Earth Brown "Let's go back to my place, Pick up my cat, and leave this town behind." "Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean." Next day Sun Green got busted for pot And it made the headline news But then the charges all got dropped And the story gets confused â??I'd still like to meet Julia Butterfly And see what remedy brings And be a goddess in the planet wars Try to save the living things "But that might not be easy Livin' on the run Mother Earth has many enemies There's much work to be done "Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean, you're dirty now, too. Hey, Mr. Clean."
