about

Smokestack is a song reflecting on the monoculture forests of the 70’s and 80’s around south of Columbus and Fort Benning. The industrial forestry practices were mostly designed for faster growing off-site pine forests, and trees planted in rows to feed the surrounding paper mills. Fortunately, conservation practices today are also focusing on returning the historic longleaf fire managed ecology back to the fall line and the rest of its home range.

lyrics

Smokestack monkey leave my home alone. Smokestack monkey leave my home alone.
Champion trade the trees, cut St. Regis just mile away as the crow flies. Sampson cut down to his knees, Delilah monkey hits too close to home. Fill the skies my people die, eyes of a warrior, eye-eye-eye-eye!
Handsome makes the leaves, cut the boys down at the ground, hell fire. Random makes the greed, take your mother’s house, you’re just skipping stones. Greed agreed my people cry, bow saw warrior, another off-site pine.
Across the creek to gnaw barbed wire. Across the creek to gnaw barbed wire. Across the creek to gnaw barbed wire, why!
Smokestack monkey! Smokestack monkey! Smokestack monkey! Leave my home alone!
