Where There's Smoke
"Where There's Smoke"
Music & Lyrics by Scott Cooley.
What folks don't know is where there's smoke, there's something sacred
Spirits can be good and bad, while fires burn in unspoken secret places
Peace pipes are passed at the sun dances for days
Good things come to those who sacrifice and pray
Some say where there’s smoke there’s a fire but they just wanna cast the 1st stone
I say where there’s smoke, there’s smoke, and that’s all I need to know
What people don't notice is where there's smoke, there's a mirror
A trick of the trade, a magical way to see yourself clearer
There's plastic in the ocean, but out of sight is out of mind
Only you can prevent it, give a hoot before you let 'em all die
Some say where there’s smoke there’s a fire but they just wanna cast the 1st stone
I say where there’s smoke, there’s smoke, and that’s all I need to know
Canoeing through a river of rubbish, while smokestacks scorch the sky
From factories all created, by the evil white man, garbage on the shoreline
Some of you think that where there's smoke, there's no respect
People throwing trash out of cars, it's no wonder Mother Earth is getting wrecked
Standing by a highway of smog, there's no good reason why
If people start it, they can stop it, it's enough to make an Indian cry
Some say where there’s smoke there’s a fire but they just wanna cast the 1st stone
I say where there’s smoke, there’s smoke, and that’s all I need to know
Trouble on the horizon, rain cloud in the sky
What goes up, must come down, tear drops never lie
Some folks can see that where there’s smoke, there’s a signal
A sign of a time when everyone is blind, to the destruction that they kindle
Some are stoked to keep America beautiful, most just roll the dice
They're buying time on credit, and their kids will pay the price
Some say where there’s smoke there’s a fire but they just wanna cast the 1st stone
I say where there’s smoke, there’s smoke, and that’s all I need to know
