From the album Big Circumstance
[Intro]
G Em D x2
[Verse 1]
G Em D Rainforest, mist and mystery, teeming green G Em Green brain facing lobotomy, climate control centre for the world D Ancient cord of coexistence hacked by parasitic greedhead scam G Em D From Sarawak to Amazonas, Costa Rica to mangy BC hills, cortege rhythm of falling timber G Em D What kind of currency grows in these new deserts, these brand new flood plains?
[Chorus]
G Em D If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? G Em D If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? G Em D Anybody hear the forest fall?
[Verse 2]
G Em D Cut and move on, cut and move on, take out trees G Take out wildlife at a rate of a species every single day Em D Take out people who've lived like this for a hundred thousand years D And inject a billion burgers worth of beef G Em D Grain eaters, methane dispensers G Em D Through thinning ozone, waves fall on wrinkled earth G Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars Em D Speak of a drowning, but this, this is something other D Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world G Em D Where wild things have to go to disappear forever
[Chorus]
G Em D If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? G Em D If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? G Em D Anybody hear the forest fall? G Em D If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? G Em D If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? G Em D Anybody hear the forest fall?
