The words: I hear the tree eaters most every day I live in the suburbs that's just the way They're thought of as weeds not as what God made and the people that eat them are just getting paid They ate the great Beech at the top of the hill If they hadn't been hungry we'd drive under it still but it lost a small branch at the top of it's crown so the destroyers determined it all had to come down Carol works downstairs She's a librarian There's a tree outside her window A stout centenarian Until a couple weeks ago the eaters ate that too They have voracious appetites All the trees I've loved are screwed Last year they ate the town forest Cleaning it up they said Somehow they'll make it healthier by making it half dead I swear I can't take much more of this To me it seems insane I wonder if they'll stop eating before no trees remain
The words:
I hear the tree eaters
most every day
I live in the suburbs
that’s just the way

They’re thought of as weeds
not as what God made
and the people that eat them
are just getting paid

They ate the great Beech
at the top of the hill
If they hadn’t been hungry
we’d drive under it still

but it lost a small branch
at the top of it’s crown
so the destroyers determined
it all had to come down

Carol works downstairs
She’s a librarian
There’s a tree outside her window
A stout centenarian

Until a couple weeks ago
the eaters ate that too
They have voracious appetites
All the trees I’ve loved are screwed

Last year they ate the town forest
Cleaning it up they said
Somehow they’ll make it healthier
by making it half dead

I swear I can’t take much more of this
To me it seems insane
I wonder if they’ll stop eating
before no trees remain]]> mediaremixbpm_090_095acappellanon_commercialaudiomp344kstereoCBRflacVBRmale_vocalsmelancholy http://ccmixter.org/ghostly/files/speck/62174 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/
