John Butler Trio Trees Lyrics

Trees Lyrics

They're cutting down all the trees

Can someone stop them please

Thank God for people in this world

Who dedicate their lives to these

Thank God for people in this world

Who dedicate their lives to trees



Because...



Don't they know if they chop them down

There won't be anything to see

Don't they know if they chop them down

There won't be anything to breathe

Don't they know if they chop them down

It's only desert that they leave

Don't they know anything? NO



And it's all for the money

That love for money

Yes it's sweeter than honey

That love for money..and

Don't care about the future

Don't care about the past

You just chop those trees down

While the money it still lasts..

There's a war going on yeah

And it ain't in the middle east

It's happening in our own damn country

They're chopping down all the trees



Don't they know if they chop them down

There won't be anything to see

Don't they know if they chop them down

There won't be anything to breathe

Don't they know if they chop them down

It's only desert that they leave

Don't they know anything? NO



Hippie, ferel, protestors

Call them what you may

But if they weren't here right now

There wouldn't be a tree standing today

Hippie, ferel, protestors

Call them what you may

But if they weren't here right now

There wouldn't be a tree standing today



They're cutting down all the

They're cutting down

They're cutting down all the

They're cutting down



Don't they know if they chop them down

There won't be anything to see

Don't they know if they chop them down

There won't be anything to breathe

Don't they know if they chop them down

It's only desert that they leave

Don't they know anything? NO

Richard Court do you know anything?

Liberal Party do you know anything?

John Howard do you know anything?

Bunnings do you know anything?

Simcore do you know anything?

Hell no.
