Lyrics

There is mass confusion in the forest
I heard about it on the radio
And they're bringing in some guy
And he is gonna go on and on
About all the things that he don't know
And there's some girl in the background she's screaming something
About missing trees and I'm wondering
Where did they go?
No lines on the highway, no passing they say
No green to my left and no green to my right
And the man behind the axe always gets a full meal
Cause green never puts up much of a fight
So here's some helpful hints some breath assured pints
Full of beautiful grace and we steal their space
And death comes quickly so I pull up to my
Double car garage hideaway and we start to say:
Where did all the trees go? (doesn't anyone know?)
Where did all the trees go? (they went across the street to grow.)
Where did all the lights come from?
They said you're big before you're small
I'm sure glad I don't know it all
Yes I'm glad I don't know it all..
If the trees could be lions, would they still fall and be tagged
Would they refuse to surrender, refuse to be gagged?
If the trees had a mother and a father like mine
Would they stand up say praise the trees the trees will be fine!
So wake me up from this dream and tell me things
Aren't as bad as they seem
And tell me is it so not cool to say who will save the trees..
Will it be me?
Where did all the trees go? (doesn't anyone know?)
Yeah, where did all the trees go? (they went across the street to grow)
Yeah, where did all the lights come from
They said you're big before your small
I'm sure glad I don't know it all..
Where did all my trees go? (doesn't anyone know?)
Yeah, where did all the trees go? (they moved across the street to grow)
Yeah, where did all the lights come from?
They said you're big before you're small
I'm sure glad I don't know it all, yes I'm glad I don't know it all
There is mass confusion in the forest
I heard about it on the radio
And they're bringing in some guy
And he is gonna go on and on and on
About all the things that he don't know
And there's some girl in the background she's screaming something
About missing trees and I'm wondering
Where did they go? (where did they go? where did they go?)
