The Tule Elk Song
Jared
Huffman
You better listen to us
'Cause we are comin'
We got the truth on our side
And we're ready to ride it
As long as it takes now
Point Reyes
Is a national treasure
But a full one-third of it
Is leased to ranchers
And some people wanna kill
Indigenous tule elk
To protect their profits
Are you for the elk
Are you for the earth
Are you for the future
Of the creatures and the dirt
Or are you for the systems
That threaten all existence
Who are you workin' for
Who now are you workin' for
Who who are you fightin' for
Who who who are you in bed with
Who are you going to
Protect, preserve, uplift, restore, defend
'Til the end
Oh 'til the end
It's gonna take immediate
And serious action
To protect this cherished
Ecosystem
And ensure that the elk
And their habitat
Are free from destruction
So if you wanna be able
To sleep at night
Well then you better get on
The right side of this fight
The time is now
To listen and respond
With the logic of compassion
Are you for the elk
Are you for the earth
Are you for the future
Of the creatures and the dirt
Or are you for the systems
That threaten all existence
Who are you workin' for
Who now are you workin' for
Who who are you fightin' for
Who who who are you in bed with
Who are you going to
Protect, preserve, uplift, restore, defend
'Til the end
Oh 'til the end
Point Reyes is about to sign a plan
That would enshrine private industry
Inside the national park for the next 20 years
The plan calls for the killing of the Tule elk
Because they compete for grass
That is leased to 24 commercial beef and dairy ranches
This species is native to California
And has been brought back from near extinction
We want the park service to do their job
And support the maximum protection, restoration and preservation
Of wildlife and the natural environment
So tell me
Are you for the elk
Are you for the earth
Are you for the future
Of the creatures and the dirt
Or are you for the systems
That threaten all existence
Who are you workin' for
Who now are you workin' for
Who who are you fightin' for
Who who who are you in bed with
Who who are you protecting
Who now are you workin' for
Who who are you fightin' for
Who who who are you in bed with
Who who are you defending
Who now are you workin' for
Who who are you fightin' for
Who who who are you in bed with
Who who are you fightin' for
