The Trees Are All Gone

Roger McGuinn

The glaciers near the polar camp

Have all begun to melt

Temperatures are on the rise

Far from the southern belt



Water levels shifting tides

On every changing land

Rain forests in the Amazon

Have vanished from our hand



And the trees are all gone

Yeah you know it's all wrong

And the trees are all gone



The people want to eat today

And so they clear the land

Global warming is a concept

They can't understand

But all the politcians now

They have no excuse

They just hide behind their power

And keep us from the truth



Man has tried his suicide

With bigotry and hate

But in the end he'll kill himself

With nothing but his waste



What will finally happen when

The farm lands turn to dust

When only rich receive the food

And nothing's left for us



But all the politcians now

They have no excuse

They just hide behind their power

And keep us from the truth
