w.c. lindsay - tree lyrics

[verse 1]
this is the spot where a mighty old tree
and her great branches they used to stand
they bulldozed her down for a cookie+cutter home
an american household they planned
this is the spot where a waspy old wife
will grow old and grow tired of routine
but she’ll bury it deep down beneath a cookie+cutter smile
cause that’s the way she wants to be perceived

[chorus]
and she, she’ll chop your tree to the ground with an axe
she’ll takе all your hopes and replace thеm with facts
don’t worry my friend, you will grow tall
when they chop down your tree you won’t feel so small

[verse 2]
you’ve got a son, you’ve got a wife
but did you ever live your life
can you teach them anything other than how to be you
or can you teach them nothing more
than how to get money and how to be bored
and how to lay awake at night just like you do
she sweeps every inch of this godd+mn floor
never misses a spot of that she’s sure
she sweeps all of her hope under the rug
and then she curls up every night
by a man that she’s loathed half her life
in a premature grave that she dug
[chorus]
and they’ll chop your tree to the ground with an axe
they’ll take all your hopes and replace them with facts
don’t worry my friend, you will grow tall
when they chop down your tree you won’t feel so small

[bridge]
and i said hey
you don’t have to do it alone
everybody digs a grave
but you don’t have to dig your own
and i said hey
you don’t have to do it alone
everybody digs a grave
but you don’t have to dig your own
and i said hey (hey)
you don’t have to dig your own grave
and i said hey (hey)
you don’t have to dig your own grave
and i said hey (hey)
you don’t have to change anything

[chorus]
and they’ll chop your tree to the ground with an axe
they’ll take all your hopes and replace them with facts
don’t worry my friend, you will grow tall
when they chop down your tree say f+ck you to them all
[outro]
this is the spot where a mighty old tree
and her great branches they still stand
so let’s climb her to the top
this world is ours, don’t ever stop
and if i drop please lend me a hand
