SONG - STOP RUNNIN MY FLORIDA HOME INTO THE GROUND

WE’RE FLORIDA SUGAR AND WE’RE RAISING CANE
BURNING AND A SLASHING AND A TRASHING UP YOUR GLADES
WE GOT A HANKERING FOR MONEY, GOT MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS
BOYS BACKWASH THAT DIRTY WATER INTO OKEECHOBEE’S FLOOD PLAIN

Chorus: FLORIDA, FLORIDA I’M HERE TO SAY
WE’RE MORE THAN JUST THE TAIL END OF THE U. S. OF A
AND I’M TELLING YOU BIG BOYS STOP MESSING AROUND
STOP RUNNING MY FLORIDA HOME INTO THE GROUND

WE’RE VINDICATOR INDUSTRIES, MULBERRY F.- L.-.A.
WE RUN YOUR FOOD THROUGH RADIATION, IT STAYS BETTER THAT WAY
FORGET ABOUT THE COBALT OR THE NUCLEAR WASTE
HERE’S A FOUR MONTH OLD STRAWBERRY,
DON’T YOU LOVE THAT FRESH FLORIDA TASTE… I’M NOT BUYING IT
 
Chorus: FLORIDA, FLORIDA I’M HERE TO SAY
WE’RE MORE THAN JUST THE TAIL END OF THE U. S. OF A
AND I’M TELLING YOU BIG BOYS STOP MESSING AROUND
STOP RUNNING MY FLORIDA HOME INTO THE GROUND

WE’RE THE LYKES BROTHERS AND WE GOT A BEEF
WITH ALL THOSE CANOERS DOWN ON FISHEATING CREEK
WE GONNA STRING US UP SOME BARBED WIRE,
THEY’LL RUN HOG-TIED HOME
FLORIDIANS REMEMBER, WHEN IT’S LYKES IT’S GONE…HOT DOG

Chorus: FLORIDA, FLORIDA I’M HERE TO SAY
WE’RE MORE THAN JUST THE TAIL END OF THE U. S. OF A
AND I’M TELLING YOU BIG BOYS STOP MESSING AROUND
STOP RUNNING MY FLORIDA HOME INTO THE GROUND

THE OLETTA RIVER STILL RUNS WILD THROUGH MIAMI
SHE’S A DEVELOPERS DREAM 'CEPT FOR ALL THOSE PESKY MANATEES
WE BANKRUPT THOSE DEVELOPERS, THEY SAID THAT THEY WAS ROBBED
BY ENVIRONMENTAL WATCHDOGS ON A 24 HOUR JOB…
WE PUT THE BITE ON ‘EM

Chorus: FLORIDA, FLORIDA I’M HERE TO SAY
WE’RE MORE THAN JUST THE TAIL END OF THE U. S. OF A
AND I’M TELLING YOU BIG BOYS STOP MESSING AROUND
STOP RUNNING MY FLORIDA HOME INTO THE GROUND

FLORIDA, FLORIDA I’M HERE TO SAY
HEY FELLOW FLORIDIANS YOU ALL STOP GIVEN IT AWAY
AND I’M TELLING YOU BIG BOYS STOP MESSING AROUND
STOP RUNNING MY FLORIDA HOME INTO THE GROUND
