Benjamin - Tori Amos

Benjamin

Science whiz

My computer bat friend

Tell me where

Tell me when

I’ll meet you ninja Ben

At the back of the record store

With tapes you secured

Prove the extent of their viciousness

As they purge our scientists

My computer bat hunts for facts

Campaigns

Funded by

The fossil fuel industry

How many of us

Will they own

To give them global mastery

Sucking hydrocarbon from the ground

Those pimps in Washington

Are selling the rape of America

As they attack Juliana

Now there is no avoiding

Necessity resurrecting herself

And her daughters

Who will never be bought

Not by the gods

Not by the men on the hill

Thread of life

Measured quick

Spin then

Snip

Tell me where

Tell me when

I’ll meet you ninja Ben

Tell me where

Tell me when

I’m in your army Ben
