zoe caldwell - on behalf of trees lyrics

they say god got lonely and created us folk
did god do it in wisdom or as a sick joke?
we’re the image of him, or the image of her
we’re not wearing antlers, we’re not born with fur
but did god really know when he gave us all birth
what havoc we’d wreak upon this good earth?

they say we’re superior, the most highly evolved
but in all these millennia, we still haven’t solved
how to live in this world harmoniously
so we poisoned the atmospherе, rivers, and sea
take this summеr, for instance, so mind+blowingly hot
it was not about what you could do, but could not

because of insecticides, couldn’t eat peaches
and with bloodied syringes, couldn’t swim in the beaches
to breathe was quite dangerous, not breathing was worse
till it seemed that merely surviving’s a curse
and when the rain falls from nome to lake placid
it isn’t raining rain, you know it’s raining lethal acid

but i am speaking on behalf of some trees
i think before trees we get down on our knees
and say, “thank you, o trees, for making air pure
for without you, you dear trees, we might not endure.”
but how do we treat you? we slash and we burn you
uproot and bulldoze and generally spurn you
well, i’ve had enough, and i think god has too
so as of this moment, here’s what we’ll do
we come to our senses and begin to take care
or we’ll wake up one morning and find we’re not there
so let’s start positing the ozone and doing all we can
to make god not ashamed he thought up man
