Story Behind The Song
I read an article about a train car of plutonium that had been lost...The image of a funeral train came to mind...then other things that also threaten the earth came to mind. The song is on Spotify, and also on an album called Workers For The Light on CD Baby.

Lyrics
Funeral Train For lady planet Earth
Parading across the country,
the funeral train for lady planet earth.
Her load one lost deadly boxcar,
if we don't find it,
we could lose the whole world.
(chorus)
It's just a fairytale, and Grimmer never heard.
whoever gave the right to endanger life to whom?
The people don't,
and the people say so.
Cuz the people don't want to die,
no the people don't want to die,
And the people demand,
truth in hand, truth is, aint no lie,
There ought to be a law against it,
ought to be a law against it.
Ships are sailing out on the ocean,
loaded with the terminator seed,
Stop the treminator fornicator, or our planet may no longer be green.
(chorus)
Politicians promising to tell the truth, the measure of it still remains the same
Does what they say put money in their pockets, it if does, it must be God's own truth.
(chorus)
Lights are burning bright across the nation; TV's blasting forth the word of truth
While smoke stacks release their deadly vapors, breath deeply, did you hear it on the news?
(chorus)
