letra de turn of the wrench - dana lyons
john svenson was a farmer
he grew the minnesota wheat
he rode there with his daughter
high upon the thresher’s seat
they broke down on the hillside
the radiator spitting steam
went back to get the tool box
so they could fix the old machine
with a turn of the wrench
and a twist of the screw
we can fix the tractor
we can make it like new
but that day they got a letter
that said the powеr lines would come
right across their farmland
right across thе setting sun
so they gathered all the family
and talked late into the night
we cannot let them do this
we’ve got to put up one h-ll of a fight
with a turn of the wrench
and a twist of the screw
we’ll apply a little pressure
and we’ll see what that will do
so they phoned one hundred farmers
and drove to the twin cities
met there with the governor
and they sued the utility
but after writing all the letters
and paying all the legal costs
to the power of the city
once again the farmers lost
and in the still of the evening
the wind is all you hear
i watch the waves on the wheat fields alone
i walk the furrows of earth
i plant year after year
this is our land, this is our home
this is our land, this is our home
so they met there at the tavern
but there wasn’t much to say
the power lines may come
but they will not stay
with a turn of the wrench
and a twist of the screw
what was once put together
we can easily undo
with bandanas on their faces
careful not to make a sound
they loosened all the bolts
that held the towers to the ground
and several weeks later
with n0body around
the minnesota wind
blew tower after tower after tower down
with a turn of the wrench
and a twist of the screw
what was once put together
we can easily undo
with a turn of the wrench
and a twist of the screw
what was once put together
we can easily undo
and in the still of the evening
the wind is all you hear
i watch the waves on the wheat fields alone
i walk the furrows of earth
i plant year after year
this is our land, this is our home
this is our land, this is our home
this is our land, this is our home
this is our land, this is our home
