If A Tree Falls - Bruce Cockburn

Rain forest

Mist and mystery

Teeming green

Green brain facing lobotomy

Climate control centre for the world

Ancient cord of coexistence hacked

By parasitic greed head scam

From Sarawak to amazons

Castro Erica to mangy BC hills

Cortege rhythm of falling timber

What kind of currency grows in these new deserts

These brand new food plains

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear

Anybody hear the forest fall

Cut and move on

Cut and move on

Take out trees

Take out wildlife at a rate of a species every single day

Take out people who've lived like this for 100000 years

Inject a billion burgers worth of beef

Grain eaters methane dispensers

Through thinning ozone

Wave fall on wrinkled earth

Gravity light ancient refuse of stars

Speak of a drowning

But this this is something other

Bust monster eats dark holes in the spirit world

Where wild things have to go

To disappear

Forever

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear

Anybody hear the forest fall

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear

Anybody hear the forest fall

If a tree falls in the forest

If a tree falls in the forest
