Roger McGuinn The Trees Are All Gone written by Roger MCGuinn
Cameila McGuinn
The glaciers near the polar cap 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 yea 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 politicians now they have no excuse
The just hide behind their power and keep us from the truth
And the trees are all gone yea you know it's all wrong
And the trees are all gone
Man has tried his suicide with bigotry and hate
But in the end he'll kill himself with nothing but his waste
And the trees are all gone
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 politicians now they have no excuse
The just hide behind their power and keep us from the truth
And the trees are all gone yea you know it's all wrong
And the trees are all gone
