Here it comes, flying down the center lane
Like a cross between a tank and some kind of trackless train
Towering over anything with only four
Wheels to the pavement, cruising from shore to shore
Radar on the dashboard and the red, white and blue
Streams from the antennae and the bumper stickers, too
Four tons of molten metal just to get a cup of coffee
Ready for the battle in whatever suburb it may be
It’s another hummer humming down the highway
See the soldier change his tire, stranded by the road
Maybe that yellow ribbon is some kind of secret code
‘Cause the hummer drives on by with a passing stare
Saying I support the troops but don’t expect me to care
It’s another hummer humming down the highway
Three miles to the gallon all the way to the shopping mall
How to say fuck you to the Kyoto Protocol
The only thing it’s missing is a machine gun turret
But it still looks to me like a military target
It’s another hummer humming down the highway
Like a cross between a tank and some kind of trackless train
Towering over anything with only four
Wheels to the pavement, cruising from shore to shore
Radar on the dashboard and the red, white and blue
Streams from the antennae and the bumper stickers, too
Four tons of molten metal just to get a cup of coffee
Ready for the battle in whatever suburb it may be
It’s another hummer humming down the highway
See the soldier change his tire, stranded by the road
Maybe that yellow ribbon is some kind of secret code
‘Cause the hummer drives on by with a passing stare
Saying I support the troops but don’t expect me to care
It’s another hummer humming down the highway
Three miles to the gallon all the way to the shopping mall
How to say fuck you to the Kyoto Protocol
The only thing it’s missing is a machine gun turret
But it still looks to me like a military target
It’s another hummer humming down the highway

David Rovics' Official Website
E David Rovics, il "nostro" David recordman delle CCG/AWS, nel 2005 ci ha scritto sopra una canzone che, oltretutto, in questo sito sta a meraviglia. Parla dello Hummer, appunto. Tra i SUV, un "mostro", una macchina da guerra, una specie di carrarmato lungo oltre cinque metri cui -come dice giustamente David Rovics- manca soltanto la torretta col cannone. "For the military targets among the SUV's", è sottotitolata la canzone. E ce lo ritroviamo per le strade assieme ai suoi consimilari coi nomi più tronfi e cretini che sia possibile immaginare, Cayenne (e che è, un bagno penale?), Touareg, Frontera, Escalade, Sorento (con una "r" sola), Qashqai, Grand Cherokee...guardate come sono stati scomodati i tuareg e gli indiani! Per non parlare delle sigle misteriose da UFO, tipo X5, M7, XC90. Ma andate affanculo!.
Forse bisognerebbe avere il coraggio di fare come in Francia, dove ai SUV qualcuno sgonfia le gomme appendendo poi alla macchina un cartellino con scritto: Vous nous volez l'air, nous nous en reprenons un peu ("Voi ci rubate l'aria, noi ce ne riprendiamo un po' "). Nel frattempo ne approfittiamo per fare un po' di propaganda a NO SUV. Visitate il loro sito![CCG/AWS Staff]]
