lyrics

If this tree stops bearing fruit will you chop it into fire wood?your empathy get the best of you and let it live out it’s days as a source of shade he worked for years at a factory just to buy her things she thought she’d need they laid him off so did she when the machine took his right hand right clear off
I looked down after the axe had dropped counted 27 rings inside my trunk I wasn’t concerned with the rings I got just the rings i’ll never have so smile with that big relief i’ll tell you for you the world has a need in life you make a crowd complete in death your food for worms i’ll hit you with that age old phrase that life’s not fair its so cliche i’ll beat it like a bible page never be held accountable
There’s a payday loan on every block it’s a foot on your chest so you can’t stand-up work your whole damn life for a gold watch,child support check, or a burial plot is a soldier worth his weight in gasoline to a vengeful cowboy presidency driving his cattle across the seas trading eyes for eyes til’ we all can’t see what’s going on
You’ll be weighed against the things you’ve done don’t think you’ll like the outcome
