56 Trees

from Stripped Down by Marla Mase

lyrics

56 Trees were removed today
to make room for the tents
on fashion week

56 trees were removed today
to make room for the tents
on fashion week

never want to read the news
I’m an idiot
It’s what I choose
Couldn’t avoid it this time
Saw the headline

56 Trees were removed today
to make room for the tents
on fashion week

56 Trees were removed today
56 trees

No wonder it’s so hard to breathe
No wonder it’s so hard

No proof no proof
Were they ever here at all
Displaced removed
In the middle of the night
Where’d they go?
Were they taken by some sanitation truck
And thrown into a massive grave

No sign no sign no sign Disappeared into thin air

Limbs trunks roots strewn everywhere
Limbs trunks roots strewn everywhere

Just like at least 56 people and their families are taken
Each and every day
Never heard from again
Never heard from again
Never heard from again

56 Trees were removed today
to make room for the tents
on fashion week

56 Trees were removed today
56 trees

no wonder it’s so hard to breathe
no wonder it’s so hard
no wonder it’s so hard to breathe
no wonder it’s so hard
no wonder it’s so hard to breathe
no wonder
no wonder

no wonder it’s so hard
no wonder
no wonder

no wonder it’s so hard
no wonder
no wonder

no wonder
no wonder
