[00:18.20]And the warbler sings:
[00:21.32]deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
[00:25.70]And the sparrow sings:
[00:28.57]deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
[00:32.81]Through the wheels, through the wheels on the interstate,
[00:40.79]And hear no refrain.
[00:50.23]
[01:01.24]And the beetles creep
[01:04.03]deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
[01:08.62]On the crippled trees,
[01:11.82]deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
[01:16.38]And they look down to where the soil must have been, wondering.

[01:41.33]

[02:21.86]deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet-deet!
[02:26.10]And they ask, and they ask it to spread their seeds,
[02:34.19]For they know they're drowning.
[02:38.80]
[02:40.83]And no, youre not alone. No, my cousins, youre not alone.
[02:51.42]
[02:52.39]You're in our talons now, and were never letting go.
[02:59.27]
[03:03.53]You're in our headlights, frozen, and no were not stopping.
[03:10.21]
[03:14.84]You may not believe but even we were scared at first.
[03:25.71]It takes a lot of nerve to destroy this wondrous earth.
[03:32.19]
[03:36.52]We're only human,
[03:39.07]
