Fordlandia Rise

In the heart of the jungle Dreams of a land Ford's mighty kingdom Built by his plan Rubber trees rising Hopes in the air The natives are grinding With toil and care Fordlandia dream So far away In the Amazon where shadows play Fordlandia thrive We'll make it stay In the jungle Come what may Workers and families Living their lives Facing the struggles Trying to thrive Ford keeps demanding But trees will not grow These rules are imposing A storm's rolling in Fordlandia dream So far away In the Amazon where shadows play Fordlandia thrive! Why won't it stay In the jungle Come what may Workers and families Living their lives Facing the struggles Trying to thrive Ford keeps demanding But trees will not grow These rules are imposing A storm's rolling in No smoking, no drinking We square-dance in pain Soccer is banned Just what is this land? Ford keeps demanding The trees they all die Managers checking our houses at night Our food is now whole wheat and rice! Fordlandia Rise We won't toil away In the Amazon where we must stay Fordlandia burn Drive them away In our jungle Ford will not stay!
