A Short History of America

Excellent SnafuRacer. This is more true to life than just being in the humor section. This is a artistic chain of events that needed to be posted irregardless of humor. I enjoyed it.

Lest ways, it don't skeer the shit out of you like Silverbacks "can you tell the difference" post. http://www.armyranger.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=7035

That was some neat artwork.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop

They took all the trees and put ’em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the poeple twenty-five bucks just to see ’em
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your ddt now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
I say, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Sigh, urban sprawl... ech.

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Classic Joni Mitchell - I was thinking of that song! :) Thanks for the lyrics!
