Period 4: Pious, Liz, Michael, Jordan (2nd draft)

The stuff I added is in bold like that.

Lyrics I worked from: http://www.elyrics.net/read/w/weird-al-yankovic-lyrics/amish-paradise-lyrics.html

Song:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOfZLb33uCg

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain,

I see my crops have been burned, right after it started to rain.

But my Grandpa hadn’t seen that when he was growing up,

So he blamed it on my best friend and his brand new pup.

The next harvest we had was really bad,

So my Grandpa and the rest of us were really sad...yo’

So I did some looking on the Internet,

And I found something out that was hard to forget.

I’m a man of the past, I like fried chicken,

Got a laptop in my hand and a Chem. book for the win

But if I finish all my keystrokes, and you finish yer’s

We will get this issue solved before they throw us in a hearse

We’ve been spending most our lives,

Living in an acid rain strike.

The acids are warlike,

Living in an acid rain strike.

Our calcium compounds are being sacrificed,

Living in an acid rain strike.

The Magnesium goes bye-bye

Living in an acid rain strike

A politician made a big speech last week,

Calling all the people in the EPA freaks.

He told us all that acid rain was abstract,

And he wanted to overturn the Clean Air Act.

But I ain’t never punched a legislator when I felt like it

A youngn’ with a wrath, you know it could be true

I never yell “You suck!” but I’ve got my laptop

And my buddies agree, this acid rain needs to stop... yo’

If he succeeds in doing this we’ll be driven to tears,

As some aquatic life would die out in two or three years.

And I would look at all those men with enmity,

As our waters would be teeming with acidity.

We’ve been spending most our lives,

Living in an acid rain strike.

Our ecosystems are in a plight,

Living in an acid rain strike.

All our farmers are demoralized,

Living in an acid rain strike.

We will not stop or sacrifice

Living in this acid rain strike

Acid anhydrides, hydrogen ions,

Meeting up together, killing off our lawns.

Think you’re not affected? Think you know it all?

Well I know you will learn once our food chain falls.

I’m the righteous guy the little protestors wanna be

At my computer all day and night researching for the cause

So don’t be mad, don’t get upset

‘Cause our loss of Magnesium and Calcium is making us sweat

We’ve been spending most our lives,

Living in an acid rain strike.

We’re hit hard by non-metal oxides,

Living in an acid rain strike.

We have to stand together and fight,

Living in an acid rain strike.

Now, you’ve gotta think twice

Living in this acid rain strike
