	Story Behind the Song A rant born in rush hour traffic on a solitary journey from the San Francisco Bay to our home in the Central California Foothills. Lyrics What Are WE Doing? Words & Music by Bear Dyken All this talk talk talk talk talk about commercializing I never was good at capitalizing ‘cause I don’t care what the people say unless the people been talking ‘bout a better way ‘cause the old way is the old way and the old way is dead the old way been puttin’ a pain on my head puts a hurt in my heart, a stab in my soul to think about the way my mother’s being bought and sold I’ve been around I’ve done some things here and there But there’s nothing that I’ve done that can compare With the prayers of the native people living on the land Or the songs of the ancestors, stretching out their hands Across time, and all the living things today That are doing their part each in their own little way Just like the birds and the trees and the flowers and the bees The fish and the bears and the owls and the otters doing their thing for you and me but (Chorus) What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? When the sun goes down and you turn out the light You might not think it’s a question about what’s wrong or right But you’ve got to think about where the coal’s coming from And you better think about where the oil’s coming from And what about those nukes? What about those nukes? Got to think about that, think about it hard No one seems to want it in their own back yard They want it far far away on indian land They want it out of their sight they want to wash their hands But there’s something that I know we’re going to see some day Children will pay for what we’re doing today Hey hey And all the living things today Like the birds and the trees and the flowers and the bees The fish and the bears and the owls and the otters doing their thing for you and me but (chorus) you can buy cigarettes and beer and fancy clothes and poison powder to pack your nose you can buy plastic shit by the bale but a clean wind is not for sale (chorus) don’t talk to me about commercializing (chorus)
