Planted Tree (Silly Little Things)
Day dah day dah dum
Oh yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Just doing nothing
Is not a course of action
Bleating pain and suffering
Will not gain us traction
But will turn the people away
Your cries of I am offended
Have worn too thin
Your speech is amended
To always say nothing
And will never make better today's
Instead of little tales of woe
Work on development
And try hard to grow
Into communication
That feels like it could say
Something
Stop the silly little things
And make your mark on society
Your feelings hurt and will sting
But we are trying to plant a tree
Bigger than you and me
Just doing nothing
Is not a course of action
Bleating pain and suffering
Will not gain us traction
But will turn the people away
Your cries of I am offended
Have worn too thin
Your speech is amended
To always say nothing
And will never make better today's
Instead of little tales of woe
Work on development
And try hard to grow
Into communication
That feels like it could say
Something
Stop the silly little things
And make your mark on society
Your feelings hurt and will sting
But we are trying to plant a tree
Bigger than you and me
This is bigger than us you see?
Oh yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Just doing nothing
Is not a course of action
Bleating pain and suffering
Will not gain us traction
But will turn the people away
Your cries of I am offended
Have worn too thin
Your speech is amended
To always say nothing
And will never make better today's
Instead of little tales of woe
Work on development
And try hard to grow
Into communication
That feels like it could say
Something
Stop the silly little things
And make your mark on society
Your feelings hurt and will sting
But we are trying to plant a tree
Bigger than you and me
Just doing nothing
Is not a course of action
Bleating pain and suffering
Will not gain us traction
But will turn the people away
Your cries of I am offended
Have worn too thin
Your speech is amended
To always say nothing
And will never make better today's
Instead of little tales of woe
Work on development
And try hard to grow
Into communication
That feels like it could say
Something
Stop the silly little things
And make your mark on society
Your feelings hurt and will sting
But we are trying to plant a tree
Bigger than you and me
This is bigger than us you see?
