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
'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

There ain't no colour in the sky anymore
There's colour there I'm sure
But its not mine and it's made me blind

I shall retrace my steps
To cover up my tracks
To conceal my taste for treason
To detach you from me
And the hatred offered by a fathers heart
Will always keep brothers apart
We are tranquil and benevolent
We don't like noisy surprises
We stay on the move
For stillness brings death
And slowness brings fear

We men of cold politeness
Shall never melt into that kindness of yours
No matter how we try

You say why weep over what?
We say weep until the weepings done
And we shall weep for another day
For what binds us to our grief
Binds the sculptor to his clay
For what binds us to our grief
Binds the sculptor to his clay

I took a tip from the man from the ministry,
He said "my son, better work in the factory",
Well, there were days I can tell you quite honestly,
I saw myself winding up the military,

I'm a rockstar, I'm a dealer,
I'm a servant, I'm a leader,
I'm a saviour, I'm a sinner,
I'm a killer, I'll be anything you want me to be,

Silent as a witness,
Make your heart race with a death kiss,
I'm a solider in a blood war,
In the peace corps,
I'm everything you'll ever be,

A loser, number zero,
Play the victim, end up a hero,
I'm a teacher, a preacher, liar,
I am anything, everything,

I'm a mover, and a shaker,
The oppressor, stimulator,
I'm a coward, I'm a fighter,
Yeah, I'm everything,
You are me, I am you.

at first i thought that was the lyrics to joker by the steve miller band

Same here!!!! :laughing:

Talk, it's only talk
Arguments, agreements, advice, answers
Articulate announcements
It's only talk

Talk, it's only talk
Babble, burble, banter, bicker bicker bicker
Brouhaha, balderdash, ballyhoo
It's only talk
Back talk

Talk talk talk, it's only talk
Comments, cliches, commentary, controversy
Chatter, chit-chat, chit-chat, chit-chat
Conversation, contradiction, criticism
It's only talk
Cheap talk

Talk, talk, it's only talk
Debates, discussions
These are words with a D this time
Dialogue, dualogue, diatribe
Dissention, declamation
Double talk, double talk

Talk, talk, it's all talk
Too much talk
Small talk
Talk that trash
Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, enfadulations
It's all talk
Elephant talk, elephant talk, elephant talk

Death is centrifugal
Solar and logical
Decadent and symmetrical
Angels are mathematical
Angels are bestial
Man is the animal
Man is the animal

The blacker the sun
The darker the dawn
Flashes from the axis
Flashes from the axis
On the hummingway to the stars

In the year of 1962, I got thrown out of school!
"Now listen Larry, I'm the principal at this high school, you're not s'posed to sing in class!"
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH SINGIN' IN CLASS?!!"

I like that song a lot, but really are the lyrics anything worth writing home about?
