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 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 flood 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 a hundred thousand 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 Busy
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
