Lyrics
The Trees Are All Gone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The glaciers near the polar camp
Have all begun to melt
Temperatures are on the rise
Far from the southern belt
Water levels shifting tides
On every changing land
Rain forests in the Amazon
Have vanished from our hand
And the trees are all gone
Yeah you know it's all wrong
And the trees are all gone
The people want to eat today
And so they clear the land
Global warming is a concept
They can't understand
But all the politcians now
They have no excuse
They just hide behind their power
And keep us from the truth
Man has tried his suicide
With bigotry and hate
But in the end he'll kill himself
With nothing but his waste
What will finally happen when
The farm lands turn to dust
When only rich receive the food
And nothing's left for us
But all the politcians now
They have no excuse
They just hide behind their power
And keep us from the truth
