The Trees
Rush
Posted on 05/20/2003 9:11:04 AM PDT by new spartacus
There is unrest in the forest, There is trouble with the trees, For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas.
The trouble with the maples, (And they're quite convinced the're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light. But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made. And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade.
So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights. "These oaks are just too greedy; We will make them give us light." Now there's no more oak oppression, For they passed a noble law, And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe, and saw.

Unfortunately for the maples, the oaks were the ones paying the taxes that kept the irrigation of the fields going... once the maples axed the oaks, the tax base shrivelled up and the maples died, too.

Oh, he's just trying to enlighten we sheeples to know that its ok to cut people down by any means to make all of us "equal". Instead of raising everyone up to a higher level, just bring everyone down!

I see a little lib'rul
prancing in the snow
He posts on Free Republic
Cause he has nowhere to go
"I am an individual" he says
"I abhor the rule of mob!"
But anyone normal who sees him just says
"Get a f*ckin job."

Don't try and use Rush to advocate your loathsome socialist propoganda you slug.
Have we completely run out of salt for these slimy critters or what?

I'm not a Rush fan, but what's wrong with these lyrics from a conservative perspective?
To: new spartacus
I'm more of a Red Barchetta man personally. Oh, I guess you never caught the pro capitalism / Ann Rand influences in Rush music did you?

Is cut-and-paste your only talent, or is there an original thought to be found in your bong?

And the trees are all kept equal by hatchet, axe, and saw! Rush is awesome. Saw them at the Fleet Center on the last tour and they killed! Opened with Tom Sawyer!
