Public Involvement (10/29/01)

Year 2014
Songwriter Kay Thode
We’ve written, we’ve sung and we’ve spoken, All of it to no avail, No matter how reasoned our stance is, You just keep ignoring our tale. Chorus: Listen, listen, Heed what we’re saying to you, Hear us, hear us— You know that our message is true. We want to be told of decisions To reduce cleanup efforts before It’s too late to take any action To impact the process once more. We want what we say to be heeded, Not filed in another report, And alternative viewpoints considered, Not just as a last resort. Chorus We’re tired of coming to hearings And giving our views every year, What’s the use of this public involvement If all we get is a deaf ear. Chorus
