30 Aug 21 - 05:51 AM (#4118219) Subject: RE: Buffy Sainte Marie - No No Keshagesh From: GerryM It's on her 2008 CD, Running for the Drum. The liner notes say, words and music Buffy Sainte-Marie. and explain: Keshagesh means Greedy Guts. It's what you call a little puppy who eats his own and then wants everybody else's. The lyrics are given as: I never saw so many business suits Never knew a dollar sign could look so cute Never knew a junkie with a money jones They singing Who's sellin Park Place? Who's buying Boardwalk? These old men they make their dirty deals Go in the back room and see what they can steal Talk about your beautiful for spacious skies It's about uranium; It's about the water rights Got Mother Nature on a luncheon plate They carve her up and call it real estate Want all the resources and all of the land They make a war over it; blow things up for it The reservation out at Poverty Row There's something cooking and the lights are low Somebody trying to save our mother earth I'm gonna help em to save it and sing it and pray it singing No no Keshagesh you can't do that no more. No no Keshagesh you can't do that no more. Old Columbus he was looking good When he got lost in our neighborhood Garden of Eden right before his eyes Now it's all spyware; Now it's all income tax Old Brother Midas looking hungry today What he can't buy he'll get some other way Send in the troopers if the natives resist Old old story, boys; That's how ya do it, boys; Look at these people Lord they're on a roll Got to have it all; got to have complete control Want all the resources and all of the land They break the law for it; blow things up for it While all our champions are off in the war Their final ripoff here at home is on Mister Greed I think your time has come I'm gonna Sing it and pray it and live it and say it singing No no Keshagesh you can't do that no more. |
