RiverMadness Song!
Song about the Rivers and the Cement Plant
Thanks, Jeb Bush, for your support of the environment. . .

RiverMadness

Down in Northern Florida in Columbia County
Waters from the crystal springs, rise to the light of day
A liquid ribbon highway, among the cypress trees
The rivers Ichetucknee, Suwannee and the Santa Fe

They're a gift of nature, pristine and cold and clean 
Where you can paddle on the current, and swim with the manatees
Now Suwanee American is building a cement plant 
They'll be burning coal and tires and down near the river it'll be

CHORUS 
So tell us, Jeb, what does it cost to sell a river down the river?
How did Suwanee American get its way?
And tell us Jeb, how much you care, about the future of the rivers
The Ichetucknee, Suwannee and the Santa Fe 

There'll be a hundred trucks a day, just thundering down our roads
Yeah, just what Florida needs, some more cement
With 3100 tons of pollution every year  
Won't have to wonder where the rivers went

BRIDGE:  Well, Jeb, no one knows where the water goes 
              Down thru the endless limestone caves
              And your legacy will be when you leave
              You took more than you gave
              Your love for big development's not as savvy as you think
              Cause someday your children's children, that water they will drink

So tell us Jeb what does it cost to sell a river down the river?
Does the Ichetucknee ever cross your mind?
And tell, us Jeb what does it take to line a politician's pockets
This is RiverMadness, how could you be so blind

Well, Jeb we wish your deal had never seen the light of day 
Cause it'll kill the Ichetucknee, Suwannee and the Santa Fe
Cause it'll kill the Ichetucknee, Suwannee and the Santa Fe 
Yeah, it'll kill the Ichetucknee, Suwannee and the Santa Fe
