The Trees Lyrics

The song The Trees is performed by Rush in the album named Chronicles in the year 2005 .



There is unrest in the forest there is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight and the oaks ignore their pleas

The trouble with the maples and they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty and they grab up all the light

But the oaks can't help their feelings if they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples can't be happy in their shade

There is trouble in the forest and the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream "Oppression" and the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union and demanded equal rights
"The oaks are just too greedy we will make them give us light"

Now there's no more oak oppression for they pa*sed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw
