I dreamed I saw John Mastodon last night,
Alive as you or me
Says I, "But John, you're ten years dead,"
"I never died," says he.
"I never died," says he.
"The birdsite bosses killed you, John,
They shot you, John,” says I.
"Takes more than guns to kill a man,"
Says John, “I didn't die,"
Says John, “I didn't die."
And standing there as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Says John, “What they forgot to kill
Went on to organize,
Went on to organize."
