Here's to the grass that grows through the
cracks of the pavement on the street find the weakness
and defeat the concete
this is your'e mother calling, who you've abused and uprooted
chopped down, bruised, polluted, and used any way you've
suited

you know that book where that Tree
gives that spoiled little kid
damn near everything he needs
limbs, branches, and leaves
while i'm hear to decree now, that that Tree is me
but now I'm only just a stump!

this self fulfilling Profit Margin
got no way to stop enlarging
Monkeys will piss in the well
where they get there drinking water from
and not even notice the smell...

you say you wanna save the planet but you
know you're Mother's planned it so that
She's not the one who needs saving
so good luck with all of your paving
but you know that youi'll be sorry when I'm...

gone just like that little punk
who cut down my trunk and carved me up
and sailed away that day i admit i really wish he sunk
cuz don't forget in the end like destiny
he sat his ass on what was left of me
and sailed off int a strip mall sea
thinking, "Now where are my children gonna play?"

so here's to the grass tha's growing throught the cracks
and claim in the name of the Mother
the other side is fighting back
here's to the grass that's pushing up high
in that pace we used to call outside

you say you wanna save the planet but you
know you're Mother's planned it so that
She's not the one who needs saving
so good luck with all of your paving
but you know that youi'll be sorry when I'm...

Re: anthem
Well, You could look at it as another tree that a child will never climb, but I have a much more optimistic view.  For every tree we cut down, we blow an eight year old's legs off with a cluster bomb, so in the end it evens out.

Re: anthem
This is the way to do it, it's actually the best thread system I've ever used.  You reply to the specific comment you want to reply to, and when you do it notifies that person via email, as you no doubt know by now. 

Haha, Well as to your vivid imagination I like your layout.  But the great thing about exploding children is you don't have to imagine it, it's a vivid reality we can see in graphic detail anytime.  And frankly I think people should be forced to.  At least then they'd care.

Re: anthem
I know what you mean. I live in a suburban area that is begininning to grow and as I drive down the road to my childhood home I see all of the piles of trees. It hurts. It will never be the same. It feels as thought they are killing a part of me.

But, I have not met anyone who understood what I was feeling. My hubby calls me a tree hugger. I say, 'so?'

Re: anthem
haha tree hugger! thats wonderful! we can unite and give love to all the trees! I know the paved nation is a disease thats killing all our trees. paving the land for more walmarts, banks, retarants that will only go bankrupt then just sit there taking up space.. what the fuck! It makes me smile to know there are others out there who mourn the trees being lost, ppl need to wake the fuck up and realize these beautiful things give us life!
