about

In 2007, we went on a tour through the state of Washington, and eventually ended up in Bellingham, where our friend Pi was working on an old farm. We were gonna play in their greenhouse later that night, but since we arrived hours early, we ended up hanging out with an older lady named Dianne who was the owner of the farm. She told us about how Aarco, the oil company, had just bought up an apple orchard nearby, and had polluted it and let the land go to waste. Dianne ushered us into her truck, and drove us over to the property, where we snuck off with bags upon bags of apples! Later, we made cider and booze for the show with 'em. Fuckin' punk, right? Up the farmers!

lyrics

Setting: Bellingham.
Action: Stealing apples from the man.
Characters: Dianne and three young dudes in a travelin' band!
Went to their land; sabotage was the plan
for 30 proof hooch in Pi Pagoda's van!

Setting: City Hall.
Action: Getting handcuffed by the cops.
Plot Devices: Bike locks and tons of people tossing molotovs and rocks.
Went to their land; sabotage was the plan.
Financed by the state, laughing while running away.
