Dead Forest

[CD]

Many years ago, we were feeling complete

Beds of dead leaves with no shoes on our feet

No billboard anywhere, no buildings of stone

The trees in the forest were our only homes

So beautiful and green you can hardly believe

And the air all around you so refreshing to breathe

We were always safe and were always sound

Sleeping bare on the ground

(Bridge:)

We ran through the forest

We ran through the woods

And best of all yeah

We ran in the mud

But it didn't really matter cos the forest was our home

And now we're all alone

Then one day, when we were lying alone

Chainsaws came and destroyed part of our home

They sawed down the trees and dug up the soil

Left a big mess for all their trouble & toil

They drove off and left us all naked and bare

They never looked back, they didn't even care

They just left a big hole that wasn't there before

We could no longer sleep on the floor

(Bridge:)

We ran into the forest

We ran through the trees

We ran so fast

Until we fell on our knees

But it didn't really matter cos the forest was our home

And now we're all alone

A few years went by, before they came back

And when they did - it was a massive attack

The bulldozers came knocked everything down

All the trees were lying down on the ground

They cemented the earth, built buildings of steel

Our forest was gone, couldn't believe this was real

They opened big stores and shops full of shite

Their bright neon signs blazed all through the night

We didn't even get chance to put up a fight

(Bridge-end:)

We looked for the forest

We looked for the trees

We looked so hard

'Til we were down on our knees

But it didn't seem to matter to them at all

They had their big shopping mall

(Long depressing guitar solo)

So we ran through the corridors

We ran through the halls

We battered them hard

Couldn't break down those walls

We smashed all of their windows 'til they came with their guns

I guess they won
