Good evening
I want you to ask to sit down
I wanna thank you for being here man
Thanks a lot for after (Yeaheah) me man hehehah
You know it’s still on this evening
A very fine the full a very fine writer and a political man
I want you to all welcome Gill Scott- Heron

Thank you very much thank you very much
Very glad to see that so many people to come out
And join us this evening
I like to do a song to you for you
That we did a couple years ago about a face down in South Caroline
A place that is located on the savanna river near town called Beaufort
It’s a place to use to house toxic waste waste from nuclear acitivities
We like to take you in to a song that we call South Caroline

Two one two A C

Uuhuuhohohaah

I heard they’re building a factory down in South Carolina
With a death potential that’s uncontrolled by government designers
It would house atomic waste and be a constant reminder
That they got a great big timebomb ticking in South Carolina
Said whatever happened to the protests and the rage?
And whatever happened to the voices of the sane?
And whatever happened to the people who gave a damn?
Didn’t they just apply to dying in the jungle of Vietnam?

Said they’re building a great big factory down in South Carolina
And the trains will roll cross-country with their cargo behind ‘em
And they could take a million lives my brother now need I remind you?
That they got no respect for human life in South Carolina

Said whatever happened to the protests and the rage?
Whatever happened to the voices of the sane?
And whatever happened to the people who gave a damn?
Didn’t that just apply to dying in the jungle of Vietnam
I’m still I wonder why?

Uuuhuhuhuuuh my

Uuuhuhuhuuuh I
It’s enough to make you wonder

Uuuhuhuhuuuh
I heard they’re building a factory down in South Carolina
And the trains will roll cross country with their cargo behind ‘em
Take there take a million lives sweet woman now need I remind you?
That they got a great big timebomb tick-tick-ticking in South Carolina
Said whatever happened to the protests and the rage?
And whatever happened to the voices of the sane? Hear nobody?
And whatever happened to the people who gave a damn? Now
And didn’t that just apply to dying in the jungle of Vietnam?

I’m talking about South Carolina I’m thinking about South Carolina
I worry about South Carolina girl it’s so a South Carolina
Say time keep us slipping away don’t know what to do what?
Time keep us slipping away I don’t know I don’t know what to say
Say time keep us slipping away don’t know what to do say what?
Say time keep us slipping away think they talking about
South Carolina I’m thinking about South Carolina I worry
South Carolina I need to South Carolina I see

So South Carolina
