Heard on CBC radio from Toronto/Ottawa and also just posted to BBC --

A special archiving event is being held in collaboration with Archive's End of Term project. Since 2008 this has saved US government websites at risk during government transitions.

Canadian "guerrilla" archivists will be assisting a rushed effort to preserve US government climate data.

Environmentalists, climate scientists and academics are collaborating to protect what they view as fragile digital federal records and research.

They want the data saved before Donald Trump takes office.

The CBC report interviewed a Canadian scientist who described some of the scientific data that was lost during the Harper government.

Help and donations are requested.

    Donald's got a quick hand
    He'll look around the room
    He won't tell you his plan
    He's got a rolled cigarette
    Hanging out his mouth
    He's a cowboy kid

    Yeah he found a six-shooter gun
    In his dad's closet, in the box of fun things
    I don't even know what
    But he's coming for you, yeah he'scoming for you

    [Chorus x2:]
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run, faster than my bullet

    Daddy works a long day
    He be cominghome late, and he's coming home late
    And he's bringing me a surprise
    'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice

    I've waited for a long time
    Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger
    I reason with my cigarette
    Then say, "Your hair's on fire, you must've lost your wits, yeah?"

    [Chorus x2:]
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run, faster than my bullet

    Run, run, run, run, ru-ru-ru-run, run, run
    Ru-ru-ru-run, run, run, run
    Ru-ru-ru-run, run, run, run, run, run

    [Chorus x4:]
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run, outrun my gun
    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
    You better run, better run, faster than my bullet

    Naw, the end of life in song lyrics ended during the Nixon administration, maybe you (1956) were too young to hear Gimme Shelter when it came out in 1969?

    Recently read the back story on the backup singer Merry Clayton who sang the Rape, Murder chorus (check her on YouTube)

    Come on
    Oh, a storm is threat'ning
    My very life today
    If I don't get some shelter
    Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away
    War, children, it's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    War, children, it's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
    Our very street today
    Burns like a red coal carpet
    Mad bull lost its way
    War, children, it's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    War, children, it's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    Rape, murder!
    It's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    Rape, murder yeah!
    It's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    Rape, murder!
    It's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away yeah
    The floods is threat'ning
    My very life today
    Gimme, gimme shelter
    Or I'm gonna fade away
    War, children, it's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    War, children, it's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away
    It's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away
    It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away
    I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
    I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
    It's just a kiss away
    It's just a kiss away
    It's just a kiss away
    It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
    It's just a kiss away
    It's just a kiss away
    It's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
