Trees and Bushes

Giant trees fell on my large car today Executed it, pan caked it in the driveway A forest of trees are coming to get me Growing up around my house to kill me Looking through my windows Shady characters dressed in green Covered in branches from trunk to toe Scheming in the ground with dirty roots I know I'm next If I leave the house they'll hunt me down Leave their roots behind and follow me Fall on top of me while sleeping I know the reason trees are taller than bushes Dirty tricks are common in political seasons They can't hide behind shrubbery easily Bushes can't hide their identity either But I'm confused I asked my neighbor while pointing over there What kind of bushes are those? Why, everyone knows, he said Those are called George Bushes Trees and bushes… It's all the same to me I still can't leave
