Bruce Cockburn lyrics : "If A Tree Falls"

Rain forest
Mist and mystery
Teeming green

Green brain facing lobotomy
Climate control centre for the world
Ancient cord of coexistence hacked by parasitic greedhead scam -

From Sarawak to Amazonas
Costra Rica 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 desert does anybody hear?

If a tree falls in the desert does anybody hear?
Does 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 100,000 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 desert does anybody hear?
If a tree falls in the desert does anybody hear?
Does anybody hear the forest fall?
