Immigrant Song

So you can define a tree From a forest if its near But I cannot make you see And my words you cannot hear You destroyed a lilac grove You’re a beast with no remorse I don’t share your need to rove You’re the effect with no cause Now the Earth is yours forever Make it flat, cut off the trees Get your desert back, whatever It may cost - I pay for this Doc Tarr and Professor Feather Offer jobs for naughty boys Others can enjoy the weather They may take it as their choice.
