D. D. T. on My Brain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't need your LSD,
Head to toe I'm DDT,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
Can't think like I used to do,
Still I know it's not good for you,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
They spray the wheat the chickens eat,
It's in my eggs, it's in my meat,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
It kills the bugs in the apple tree,
I eat the pie and it's killing me,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
All the farms they get that spray,
It washes down into my Bay,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
It kills the crabs, it kills the fish,
It shines up from my supper dish,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
Falcon's flying wild and free,
His babies die of the DDT,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
Chemical stocks are riding high,
Farm field workers spray and die,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
Bring back the bugs in my apple tree,
Don't lay that poison spray on me,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
I don't need your LSD,
DDT is killing me,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.
