Song lyrics
There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression"
And the oaks, just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
They say:
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

* offtopic :

Can that guy stop posting the same comments in every Rush song.
It makes him looks stupid and undermines the band



Anyway, I love the lyrics to this song and how it compares the felling of trees to workers rights and personficating the trees.

Awesome!

You hardly get this type of song in today's MTV-era.

All bow to Rush
