 John Oaks

 

John Oaks is in the neighborhood

Protecting all the trees

He's the master of irrigation

And he knows what he sees

 

Great farmers watering everywhere

Pipes running where they please

John sees his laws are broken

Tree's drowning where they breathe

 

Now John used to be a mellow man

Drinking chai and smoking weed

Ain't no one in the country

Ever seen what he's seen

Old John rides in his pickup

With rakes and his friends in the back

Workers he takes with him

Then he drives them all back

 

To protect them from the politicians

Using them to get ahead

Preying on the people

Trying to get inside their head

 

John Oaks is really stand up

He won't take shit lying down

He calls it like he sees it

Then he puts his money down

One day at the demonstration

John Oaks was standing up

He arrived there at the location

In his old pickup truck

 

Took a rake in his hand

With his workers by his side

Stood their waiting for his turn

To speak and turn the tide

 

When he found himself surrounded

By police everywhere

They tried to take his workers to jail

When he grabbed one by his hair

Shots rang out and people yelled

As the police took control

Shot a black man right where he fell

With a sniper on the knoll

 

John Oaks saw law and order

Was leading him astray

Tried to get back in his pickup

With his workers to get away

 

That's when the police moved in

And stood there in his way

John started up his pickup

And that was his last day

They said he had pistol

When the old pickup backfired

They shot John there behind he wheel

And then John Oaks expired

 

The workers grabbed the rakes

And that's all that I can say

They went to the cemetery

And they stay there to this day

John Oaks está en el barrio

para proteger todos los árboles.

Él es el maestro del riego

y sabe cómo está el patio.

 

Los grandes granjeros riegan por doquier.

Tubos irrigando por donde les rota.

John ve que sus pautas se incumplen.

El árbol se está ahogando por donde respira.

 

Sí, John ha sido siempre un hombre sosegado

que bebía chai y fumaba hierba.

No hay nadie en el país

que haya visto lo que él ha visto.

El viejo John monta en su camioneta,

con los rastrillos y sus amigos en la caja.

Son trabajadores que lleva consigo

y que luego trae de vuelta.

 

Para protegerlos de los políticos

que los usan para salir adelante

comiéndoles

el tarro.

 

John Oaks es íntegro

y no se achica.

Llama al pan pan y al vino vino.

Y el dinero de su bolsillo.

Un día de manifestación

John Oaks estaba por allí.

Había llegado

en su vieja camioneta.

 

Tomó un rastrillo en su mano,

con sus trabajadores a su lado.

Esperó su turno

para hablar y girar la tortilla.

 

Cuando se vio rodeado

por la policía.

Cuando intentaron llevar a sus trabajadores a la cárcel

agarró a uno por el pelo.

Se oyeron disparos y la gente gritó

mientras la policía tomaba el control.

Dispararon a un hombre negro que cayó redondo,

un francotirador desde el otero.

 

John Oaks vio que la ley y el orden

lo estaba desviando de su objetivo

y trató de volver a su camioneta

para salir de allí con sus trabajadores.

 

Entonces, cuando la policía intervenía

delante suyo,

John arrancó su camioneta

y eso fue lo último que hizo.

Dijeron que tenía una pistola.

Cuando la vieja camioneta petardeó al arrancar

le dispararon a John, al volante,

y allí John Oaks expiró.

 

Los trabajadores tomaron los rastrillos.

Y poco más puedo decir.

Fueron al cementerio

y alli se quedaron hasta el día de hoy.
