chuck brodsky - trees falling lyrics
see where they’re putting in a wal-mart
see how they level the field
the community banded against it
but there was a backroom deal
trees one day begin falling
bulldozers tear up the gr-ss
just down the road from the superstore
shopkeepers are boarding up gl-ss
see where they’re gonna put that highway
they’re talking about 8 lanes
running it right through a neighborhood
invoking eminent domain
trees one day begin falling
bulldozers clear away bricks
a neighborhood is divided
alternative plans are nixed
see where they’re gonna build a ballpark
it’s a developer’s dream
we give him $ 500 million
or else we might lose our team
the money’ll come from the city
we’ll vote on it until the day it p-sses
all of our local schools
will have to do without music cl-sses
see where they’re putting in those mansions
clearing out a bunch of these woods
putting in a gated community
where security’ll be real good
trees one day begin falling
to open up mountain views
they put in a road to the waterfalls
and now they charge admission to it
say you live out in the country
up a steep mountain side
a holy little oasis
nothing but peace & quiet
trees one day begin falling
somebody’s moving in
building a house right on top of you
he says he wants to be your friend
trees one day begin falling
bulldozers clearing a path
for a really different future
no brakes – just stepping on the gas
