This song is for the rats   Who hurled themselves into the ocean   When they saw that the explosives in the cargo hold   Were just about to blow      This song is for the soil   That's toxic clear down to the bedrock   Where no thing of consequence can grow   Drop your seeds there, let them go   Let them go      Let them all go   Let 'em all go      This song is for the people   Who tell their families that they're sorry   For things they can't and won't feel sorry for      And once there was a desk   And now it's in a storage locker somewhere   And this song is for the stick pins and the cottons   I left in the top drawer      Let 'em all go   Let 'em all go      I wanna sing one for the cars   That are right now headed silent down the highway   And it's dark and there is nobody driving   And something has got to give      I saw you waiting by the roadside   You didn't know that I was watching   Now you know   Let it all go      Let 'em all go   Let it all go
