repost -- 03/26/2010-- Lee Marvin - God Knows Why----( my favorite Ex-Marine; R.I.P...Semper Fidelis)...They civilize left They civilize right Till nothing is left Till nothing is right

From the movie "Paint Your Wagon"...(paint your "own" wagon..)

==============================
note the you tube of God Knows Why
is now gone....6/22/2012

God made the mountains
God made the sky
God made the people
God knows why

He fixed up the planet
As best as He could
Then in come the people
And gum it up good

The first thing you know
They civilized the foothills
And everywhere He put hills
The mountains and valley below

They come along and take 'em
And civilize and make 'em
A place where no civilized
Person would go

The first thing you know
The first thing you know
They civilize what's pretty
By puttin' up a city
Where nothin' that's
Pretty can grow

They muddy up the winter
And civilize it, into a place
Too uncivilized
Even for snow

The first thing you know
They civilize left
They civilize right
Till nothing is left
Till nothing is right

They civilize freedom
Till no one is free
No one except
By coincidence, me

The first thing you know
The boozer's in prison
And the criminal, he isn't
And only the rascals have gone
When I see a parson
I gotta put my arse in
A wagon that follows the tail of a crow
The first thing you know
I pick up a growl
The first thing you know...
