Description
A news item about how Canadian lakes can be "reclassified" into toxic waste dumps prompted this little eco-folk protest song. Let me know if I should lose the piano part, I wasn't too sure about it. I like the sound of acoustic guitar with piano but my piano skills are a bit rough. also not sure if the piano sound is any good.. I think it came with garageband.

Lyrics
northern waters blue
it's just like a postcard
but what's it mean to you
except some place for your vacation...
its far from where you live
so what's with all the worry?
nowhere near your street
it's just one more remote location
you thought a lake was a lake
but i'm afraid you're mistaken
we turned it into a dump
so now i'll show you what's in a name
it's whatever we say
you get whatever you want
and we know what you need now
stop and think, you know
this stuff has got to come from somewhere
all god's creatures were made to share
up here you find them anywhere
and whether they walk, swim or crawl,
must be a place for em all
you thought a lake was a lake
but what if we say it ain't
we turned it into a dump
for all our rocks and poison sludge
and all our dark satanic muck
so now i'll tell you what's in a name
it's whatever we say
it's just like a postcard
but what's it mean to you
except some place for your vacation...
its far from where you live
so what's with all the worry?
nowhere near your street
it's just one more remote location
you thought a lake was a lake
but i'm afraid you're mistaken
we turned it into a dump
so now i'll show you what's in a name
it's whatever we say
you get whatever you want
and we know what you need now
stop and think, you know
this stuff has got to come from somewhere
all god's creatures were made to share
up here you find them anywhere
and whether they walk, swim or crawl,
must be a place for em all
you thought a lake was a lake
but what if we say it ain't
we turned it into a dump
for all our rocks and poison sludge
and all our dark satanic muck
so now i'll tell you what's in a name
it's whatever we say
