Around Sioux Falls, South Dakota

                                      Prairie, plains, all torn;

                                      the blight of cattle, corn.

                                       Pesticidal streams.

                                       Suicidal dreams.

                                      Soft feet of Sioux,

                                      and buffalo so  few.

                                      All that money gained

                                      will never be sustained.

                                      Renunciants hallow all,

                                      and glad coyotes call.
