lyrics

Verse

Hey mister mister what do you need? Mister twenty-first century.
Gonna take your chainsaw, cut through some trees?
It just rips and strips and before long it bleeds!
I need to find ideology, just like Johnny Unitas swinging up through the trees
Modern man, he has lots of greed he just rapes and takes and it’s more than we need

Hey mister can you listen to me. Can you spare some food to eat?
The fruit is gone and so is the tree and this Styrofoam nutrition is killing me!
You get what you got and you got what you need just like Jeffery Dahlmer stalking up through the trees
Can’t get what I want with please, I guess I'll have to use any means necessary



Bridge

Skyrocket because it has to be
Because we’re high, we’re in love, maybe it’s LSD?
Skyrocket because it has to be on fire!—ie ie ah a ah

Skyrocket because it has to be
Because it's itchy, I can't sleep, maybe it’s PCP?
Skyrocket because it has to be on fire!—ie ie ah a ah


Chorus

I am the forest don’t forget about me
I’m the one that you want, I make the air that you breathe
Don’t take your chainsaw and cut through me
Cause looking ahead it’s looking pretty bleak
And in the future there’s no suture we’ve already gone too far
We don’t need to find it, we’ll just synthesize it now!—wo oh oh o oh o oh oh
