John Butler Trio - Trees lyrics

They're cutting down all the trees Can someone stop them please Thank God for people in this world Who dedicate their lives to these Thank God for people in this world Who dedicate their lives to trees because Don't they know if they chop them down There won't be anything to see? Don't they know if they chop them down There won't be anything to breathe? Don't they know if they chop them down It's only desert that they leave? Don't they know anything? No And it's all for the money, that love for money Yes, it's sweeter than honey, that love for money And don't care about the future Don't care about the past You just chop those trees down While the money it still lasts There's a war going on, yeah And it ain't in the middle east It's happening in our own damn country They're chopping down all the trees Don't they know if they chop them down There won't be anything to see? Don't they know if they chop them down There won't be anything to breathe? Don't they know if they chop them down It's only desert that they leave? Don't they know anything? No Hippie, feral, protesters Call them what you may But if they weren't here right now There wouldn't be a tree standing today Hippie, feral, protesters Call them what you may But if they weren't here right now There wouldn't be a tree standing today They're cutting down all the, they're cutting down They're cutting down all the, they're cutting down Don't they know if they chop them down There won't be anything to see? Don't they know if they chop them down There won't be anything to breathe? Don't they know if they chop them down It's only desert that they leave? Don't they know anything? No Richard Court, do you know anything? Liberal Party, do you know anything? John Howard, do you know anything? Bunnings, do you know anything? Simcore, do you know anything? Hell no
