The Ex (Punk Band) - Dog Tree lyrics

I can be a calculator when you count on me
But would I be a carpet when
You walk all over me?
Suppose you were a carpenter and
You saw me standing there
You could call me lots of names
But really I don't care
I write hero with a Z, maybe I"m not brave
But am I hold in leash? I am not your slave
Cause I'm like an escalator -
I can take you higher
Also, I can bring you down
In step with my desire

I could be so happy in the land of the free
Now if I were a dog, and you were a tree
See how we're getting along in
The land of the free
Someone should better warn you bout
The way it will be

Is it heresy, is it hearsay?
I read it somewhere, too
I can be anything that I would wanna be
And it's true, that's not gonna be you

I could be so happy in the land of the free
Now if I were a dog, and you were a tree
How I'm walking along in the land ofthefree
Making my way from A to Z
And if I'm a dog, and you are a tree
You can count on me
When I'm on all fours, you make me wanna pee
Oh, I could be so happy
