The presumption of gold in them hills
\nPanning fast
\nA fever is spreading
\nOne that may last
\nAttracting the miners
\nThe diggers to come
\nWith their chemical clouds
\nAnd Boy they have some<\/p>\n
Move into the villages
\nIn Ecuador
\nWhere people have lived
\nFor years
\nAnd theres more
\nTake over run riot
\nAnd think they have rights
\nTo destroy and employ
\nAnd to get into fights<\/p>\n
The police and the army
\nHave tried to flush out
\nThose desperate men
\nWho are in no doubt
\nThat theres Gold in them hills
\nAnd they want a slice
\nOf the manifestation
\nA roll of the dice<\/p>\n
That will set them all up
\nMake them rich make them feel
\nMany are duped its a fever for real
\nAll their histrionics
\nDisproportionately
\nUpsets the natives
\nWho just want to be<\/p>\n
Living their lives
\nWhere their ancestors stood
\nWhere they have made their homes
\nAnd where everythings good
\nTo have crowds of foreigners
\nComing to pan
\nFor gold no one\u2019s sold
\nOn the terrible plan<\/p>\n
The landscape around
\nIs beautiful here
\nHarmonious elegance
\nFresh air and cheer
\nThe feel indisposed
\nBy the gold rabble who
\nHave really invaded
\nTo do what they do<\/p>\n
An obdurate bunch
\nPerverse and head strong
\nWhat they are doing
\nThey feel they are wrong
\nDestroying the environment
\nIsnt their care
\nEnriched on the need
\nThey remain unaware<\/p>\n
And so theres a battle
\nThe natives believe
\nThey must stand and fight
\nThey have to achieve
\nIts important that they
\nFight of these people
\nDrive them away<\/p>\n
So in fact its a battle
\nOf good versus bad
\nSo much dissension
\nIt is very sad
\nResistance entrenchment
\nAnd retaliation
\nBoth sides feel enriched
\nHaving found their salvation<\/p>\n
My heart is with Ecuador
\nWhat I now see
\nIs invaders have come forth
\nAnd cannot agree
\nThey have to go
\nThe people\u2019s defence
\nIt is their country
\nSo it makes sense<\/p>\n
The gold panning scum bags
\nThey have to go
\nThe government soldiers
\nReally must show
\nThese so called panners
\nThat they have no right
\nAnd in their best interests
\nThey ought to take flight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
