paroles de chanson The Trees - Live in Manchester - Rush

We′d like to do something for you from our "Hemispheres" album
This features Alex on the classical guitar
This is called "The Trees"
There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced they′re right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help them feelings
Them they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can′t be happy in their shade
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream "Oppression"
And the oaks just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
These oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light
Now there′s no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe and saw
