Lyrics:
Sun Green started making waves On the day her grandpa died Speakin' out against anything Unjust or packed with lies
She chained herself to a statue of an eagle In the lobby of Powerco And started yelling through a megaphone 'There's corruption on the highest floor!'
Suits poured out of elevators 'They're all dirty' Phoneheads began to speak 'You can't trust anybody' But security couldn't get her down She was welded to the eagle's beak
Sun green leaned into that megaphone And said, 'Truth is all I seek' Security brought in some blowtorches News cameras recorded the speech
'When the city is plunged into darkness By an unpredicted rolling blackout The White House always blames the governor Sayin' 'The solution is to vote him out''
On top of that great bronze eagle Sun's voice was loud and clear She said, 'Powerco is working with the White House To paralyze our state with fear'
It was a golden moment golden moment In the history of TV news No one could explain it It just got great reviews
'Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too'
The Imitators were playing Down at John Lee's Bar When Sun went down to see 'em Someone followed her in a car
So now when she goes dancing She has to watch her back The FBI just trashed her room One of them kicked her cat
The damn thing scratched his leg And he had to shoot it dead And leave it lying in a puddle of blood At the foot of Sun Green's bed
'Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too'
John Lee's was rocking The Imitators drove it home Sun was dancing up a heatwave For a while she was all alone
When up walked a tall stranger He shadowed her move to move In perfect unison A supernatural groove
He took her by the hand And the room began to spin He said, 'I'm Earth... Earth Brown You know the shape I'm in'
'I'm leavin' tonight for Alaska And I want you to come in the spring And be a goddess in the planet war Trying to save the livin' things'
'I'm ready to go right now' Sun Green told Earth Brown 'Let's go back to my place Pick up my cat and leave this town behind'
'FBI' 'What? God damn'
'Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too'
Next day, Sun Green got busted for pot And it made the headline news But then the charges all got dropped And the story got confused
She'd still like to meet Julia Butterfly And see what remedy brings And be a goddess in the planet wars Trying to save the living things
But that might not be easy Living on the run Mother Earth has many enemies There's much work to be done
'Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too Hey Mr. Clean, you're dirty now too'
