If we allow this Project Blue

we’ll be complicit to

the nasty things that Amazon

‘n its rich investors do!

And when our water’s gone their money’s

not gonna quench our thirst!

Chorus:

Can’t quench our thi-irst…Oh No!

Evr’ybody told us so!

Can’t quench our thi-irst…Oh No!

No, no, no, no, no!

Verse:

Am-azon’s anti-u-nion and…pause…

it’s also pro-ICE!

So when they say they’re bringing jobs

we gotta ask “At what price?

Are we ready to make our immigrants

be the sac-ri-fice?

Chorus

Can’t quench our co-onscience… No!

Evr’ybody told us so!

Can’t quench our co-onscience… No!

No, no, no, no, no!

Verse:

Am-a-zon and Pal-an-tir

have a partnership

exploiting our government

to public detriment!

So… once… they’ve… destroyed… democracy

DON’T… ASK… WHERE… IT… WENT!!!
