Lyrics

Rain forest Mist and mystery Teeming green Green brain facing labotomy Climate control centre for the world Ancient cord of coexistence Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam From Sarawak to Amazonas Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills Cortege rhythm of falling timber What kind of currency grows in these new deserts These brand new flood plains? If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear? If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear? Anybody hear the forest fall? Cut and move on Cut and move on Take out trees Take out wildlife at a rate of species every single day Take out people who've lived with this for 100, 000 years Inject a billion burgers worth of beef Grain eaters methane dispensers Through thinning o-zone Waves fall on wrinkled earth Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars Speak of a drowning But this, this is something other Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world Where wild things have to go To disappear Forever If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear? If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear? Anybody hear the forest fall? If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear? If a tree falls in the forest, does anybody hear? Anybody hear the forest fall? If a tree falls in the forest If a tree falls in the forest If a tree falls in the forest
