Tegan and Sara - Our Trees lyrics

There is mass confusion in the forest
I heard about it on the radio
Said they're bringing in some guy
And he's going to go on and on about
All the things he don't know
And there's some girl in the background
She's screaming something about
Missing trees and I'm wondering
Where did they go?

No lines on the highway no passing they say
No green to my left and no green to my right
And the man behind the axe
Always gets a full meal
Because green never puts up much of a fight
So here's some helpful hints
Some breath assured pints
Full of beautiful grace so
We steal their space and death comes quickly
So I pull up to our
Double car garage hideaways


And I start to say

Where did all the trees go
They moved across the street to grow
Where did all the trees go does anyone know
Where did all the lights come from
They said you're big before you're small
Aren't you glad I don't know it all
Yes, I'm glad I don't know it all

If the trees could be lions
Would they still fall and be tagged
Would they refuse to surrender
Refuse to be gagged
If the trees had a mother
And a father like mine
Would they stand up say praise the trees
The trees will be fine
So wake me up from this dream
Tell me things aren't as bad as they seem
And tell me is it so not cool to say
Who will save the trees? Will it be me?

Where did all the trees go
Doesn't anyone know?
Where did all the trees go
They ran across the street to grow
Where did all the lights come from
They said you're big before you're small
Aren't you glad I don't know it all
Yes, I'm glad I don't know it all

There is mass confusion in the forest
I heard about it on the radio
Said they're bringing in some guy
And he's going to go on and on about
All the things he don't know
And there's some girl in the background
She's screaming something about
Missing trees and I'm wondering
Where did they go?
