River of Trees
A river of trees stretched before my eyes
Looking so far to make the buffalo cry
Anytime I look at you
I feel like the only person in the room
Who wants to go out and climb the mountain
Who wants to go and find the nearest fountain
Quench this thirst but laugh it off at first
It doesn't really matter who climbs the latter
A river of sand will let you join the band
If you think you're good enough
Good enough to play each and everyday
Until you feel you're in a muck
So you try to quit the band but you don't understand
Why they keep on dragging you down
But who could be dragging you down when you're the only one
Left here in this town
Who wants to go out and sail this river
How can it be made any clearer
Stand by with me and maybe we will see
Who will be the first to climb this tree so
Climb to the top of your corporate ladder
Before your fat ass gets any fatter
A suit and tie will make you be the guy
Who wraps his neck in his corporate check
A river of fire will make you wanna hire
Anyone that walks in the door
Careful what you wish for cause you might find
You are bound to the floor
I know it's just a game
But I think it's all the same that it all has been before
So we all stand in line but on who's fucking dime
Are we getting paid to get out the door?
Who wants to go out and sail this river
How can it be made any clearer
Stand by with me and maybe we will see
Who will be the first to climb this tree so
Climb to the top of your corporate ladder
Before your fat ass gets any fatter
A suit and tie will make you be the guy
Who wraps his neck in his corporate check
You can't see the fire
Through all the trees
And you don't know what to make of all of these
Thoughts in your head
Wishing you were dead
You probably should have gone but you stayed home instead
Now you think you're dead
Looking so far to make the buffalo cry
Anytime I look at you
I feel like the only person in the room
Who wants to go out and climb the mountain
Who wants to go and find the nearest fountain
Quench this thirst but laugh it off at first
It doesn't really matter who climbs the latter
A river of sand will let you join the band
If you think you're good enough
Good enough to play each and everyday
Until you feel you're in a muck
So you try to quit the band but you don't understand
Why they keep on dragging you down
But who could be dragging you down when you're the only one
Left here in this town
Who wants to go out and sail this river
How can it be made any clearer
Stand by with me and maybe we will see
Who will be the first to climb this tree so
Climb to the top of your corporate ladder
Before your fat ass gets any fatter
A suit and tie will make you be the guy
Who wraps his neck in his corporate check
A river of fire will make you wanna hire
Anyone that walks in the door
Careful what you wish for cause you might find
You are bound to the floor
I know it's just a game
But I think it's all the same that it all has been before
So we all stand in line but on who's fucking dime
Are we getting paid to get out the door?
Who wants to go out and sail this river
How can it be made any clearer
Stand by with me and maybe we will see
Who will be the first to climb this tree so
Climb to the top of your corporate ladder
Before your fat ass gets any fatter
A suit and tie will make you be the guy
Who wraps his neck in his corporate check
You can't see the fire
Through all the trees
And you don't know what to make of all of these
Thoughts in your head
Wishing you were dead
You probably should have gone but you stayed home instead
Now you think you're dead
