lyrics

The garbage floating back to shore
We thought we threw away, we just displaced it's cage
Now it wants back what we stole
Wants it's heart back, wants it's soul
That we sold from ours
At the lowest cost or so we thought

The demons coming back to mourn
The only notion we could not exploit
Grab your preacher, grab your gun
Tell your friends they all have won
In the slowest game
That they never thought we'd have to play

Wouldn't it be nice
To rewind back to a time when trees still breathed us our fresh air

But back then how much did we care?

Wake up sheeple, what's free will
Fate put in a sugar pill
That we kept for days
Cos we never felt it safe to take

Wouldn't it be nice
To rewind back to a time when trees still breathed us our fresh air

Before we had an app for that

Chad Stokes for making aware the cutting of these beautiful sequoias in Portland, the people of Eastmoreland and supporters of wilderness preservation who are taking a stand!
If we raise enough money for a deal to purchase the land we can have one less stupid condominium and save these ancient beings: friendsoftrees.org/donate-today-eastmoreland
