Buffy Sainte Marie - "Disinformation"

Coincidence and likely stories
They dog your trail like a pack of lies
They whine at night when the lights are out
You toss and turn, you pitch and roll
Disinformation, you spin it like a silkworm
Just when I need another point of view
Here you come from nowhere, from over the ways
I stand amazed, I see your greatest hits
They blow back down the chimney into everyone's eyes
Creative thinking in the first degree
You're a three-way mirror of a one-way world
It's a perverse company you work for
They build the past, it just can't last
It's obsolete by design
They send you out rerouting history
To make the same old mistakes in a brand new way
Come out from under cover
Ollie Ollie in free
Come out, come out wherever you are
And virgin places don't mean a thing
To people who never bring their hearts along
And fools like them never fall at all
They're tough as sin, let nobody in
They turn and spin your wheels and nobody wins
Coincidence and likely stories
They dog your trail like a pack of lies
They whine at night when the lights are out
You toss and turn, you pitch and roll
Disinformation, you spin it like a silkworm

possibly one of the best songs I have ever heard. I bow to you, Buffy Sainte Marie - prophet, truthteller, lover of this earth. We are sisters under the skin.

She is a beautiful soul.

First heard this cd when it came out in '92. It was impossible not to hear how prescient it was then; and it holds just as true today!

Coincidence and unlikely stories

[@Rasmusweinhardt]

One of the most awesome songs of Buffy!!! She describes the "white american society" and the native fools, among her people that follow that path, and it's so called "civilisation" exaxtly as they are: You are a three way mirror in a one way world! They sent you out re-routing history in a brand new way! So go out with your cell phone attached to your ear, fry your brains.... What do you know of trees, rivers, mountains and animals...Now that the Buffalo has gone??? Why should you care???
