Sun Green
[Verse 1]
Sun Green started making waves
On the day her grandpa died
Speakin' out against anything
Unjust or packed with lies
[Verse 2]
She chained herself to a statue of an eagle
In the lobby of Powerco
And started yelling through a megaphone
"There's corruption on the highest floor!"
[Verse 3]
Suits poured out of elevators "They're all dirty"
Phoneheads began to speak "You can't trust anybody"
But security couldn't get her down
She was welded to the eagle's beak
[Verse 4]
Sun green leaned into that megaphone
And said, "Truth is all I seek"
Security brought in some blowtorches
News cameras recorded the speech
[Verse 5]
"When the city is plunged into darkness
By an unpredicted rolling blackout
The White House always blames the governor
Sayin' 'The solution is to vote him out'"
[Verse 6]
On top of that great bronze eagle
Sun's voice was loud and clear
She said, "Powerco is working with the White House
To paralyze our state with fear"
[Verse 7]
It was a golden moment golden moment
In the history of TV news
No one could explain it
It just got great reviews
[Refrain]
"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"
[Guitar Break]
[Verse 8]
The Imitators were playing
Down at John Lee's Bar
When Sun went down to see 'em
Someone followed her in a car
[Verse 9]
So now when she goes dancing
She has to watch her back
The FBI just trashed her room
One of them kicked her cat
[Verse 10]
The damn thing scratched his leg
And he had to shoot it dead
And leave it lying in a puddle of blood
At the foot of Sun Green's bed
[Refrain]
"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"
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 11]
John Lee's was rocking
The Imitators drove it home
Sun was dancing up a heatwave
For a while she was all alone
[Verse 12]
When up walked a tall stranger
He shadowed her move to move
In perfect unison
A supernatural groove
[Verse 13]
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"
[Verse 14]
"I'm leavin' tonight for Alaska
And I want you to come in the spring
And be a goddess in the planet war
Trying to save the livin' things"
[Verse 15]
[*cat screeching*]
"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"
[Guitar Solo]
[*knocking*]
"FBI"
[*cat screeching*]
"What? God damn"
[*bang*]
[Refrain]
"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"
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 16]
Next day, Sun Green got busted for pot
And it made the headline news
But then the charges all got dropped
And the story got confused
[Verse 17]
She'd still like to meet Julia Butterfly
And see what remedy brings
And be a goddess in the planet wars
Trying to save the living things
[Verse 18]
But that might not be easy
Living on the run
Mother Earth has many enemies
There's much work to be done
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
"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"
