No, no, no new jets

splitting Tucson skies

We’re already suffering

No more compromise!

We don’t need more noisy jets

from any other place

Tucson’s done more than its share

in this warfare race

Tucson’s been a gracious host

How do you repay?

With bogus tools and false results

just to get your way!

You are paid to protect us

We should not have to fight

Just to get you to respect

Our Constitush’nal Right

We demand that the air force

use the proper tools

to measure the real impact on

ourselves, our homes, our schools!

F-eighteens, F-twenty-twos

and F-thirty fives

should not fly o-ver a space

where anyone’s alive

We will not take your bullying

We will not go away

WE THE PEOPLE WILL PREVAIL

WE ARE THE U S A!
