lyrics

Trees are hella fascinating
Among the grey, they're green
There's cobwebs on the outside
And they're crawling
With the critters they've got in them

Did you know that rats live in your trees?
So when you cut the trees down in your yard,
The rats escape to your house
One of 'em dies in the vents
The whole place starts to smell like death
And it wasn't the death of that mouse
I think it's the stench of a tree that's gone too soon

I can't breathe!
I can't breathe!
The Amazon is burning
The red flames burn to ash for
All you useless, lifeless green
I miss the trees
I don't know what to do and I'm sorry

I am just a bird
Singing songs up on a branch
The kids playing down below
They learn the things that I forget
What do I know?
I'm just a bird
I'm just a bird and I miss the trees
