[Verse 1]
Rain forest
Mist and mystery
Teeming green
Green brain facing lobotomy
Climate control centre for the world
Ancient cord of coexistence
Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam—
From Sarawak to Amazonas
Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills—
Cortege rhythm of falling timber
What kind of currency grows in these new deserts
These brand new flood plains?

[Chorus]
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
Anybody hear the forest fall?

[Verse 2]
Cut and move on
Cut and move on
Take out trees
Take out wildlife at a rate of species every single day
Take out people who've lived with this
For a hundred thousand years—
Inject a billion burgers worth of beef—
Grain eaters—methane dispensers
Through thinning ozone
Waves fall on wrinkled earth—
Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars
Speak of a drowning—
But this, this is something other
Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world
Where wild things have to go
To disappear
Forever
[Chorus]
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
Anybody hear the forest fall?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
Anybody hear the forest fall?

[Outro]
If a tree falls in the forest—
If a tree falls in the forest—
If a tree falls in the forest—
